The community recently had opportunity to comment on the Draft Regional Conservation Plan for the Lower Hunter. The Plan announced the creation of 17,000 ha of new public reserves, (not the 20,000 ha claimed in Government media releases) and foreshadows the addition of another 12,000 hectares of public reserves from private land once "trade-offs" have been finalised.

To see the HCEC submission to the RCP, click here.

Go the the DEC website www.environment.nsw.gov.au and click the link to the new Lower Hunter National Parks on the right to download your own copy of the RCP and see the accompanying map.
