Consultation: Recreational Hunting (closed)
01-Mar-2014
The Standing Committee on Public Administration has commenced an inquiry into recreational hunting in Western Australia
The terms of the inquiry cover an acknowledgement of the use in other States of regulated, licensed recreational hunting systems and the potential environmental contribution made in controlling pest animals on public lands, together with the possible economic, cultural and recreational benefits to the community along with inquiring into the benefits or otherwise of a similar system being adopted in WA.
The inquiry is wide ranging and a submission has been prepared to identify a number of issues that have been raised as concerns by the outdoor community if a proposal was to go ahead. Download Outdoors WA response here.
