Outdoors Forum Wrap up

A big thank you to the 20+ people that turned out to participate in the Outdoors Forum. The guest presentations from Simon and Jess from Department of Premier and Cabinet provided a clear overview of the process underway for the Green Growth project and Rod from Parks and Wildlife shared on the different tenure opportunities and how this might impact on participation.

It was great to see people from outdoor education, bushwalking, four wheel driving, mountain biking, horse riding, trails, track care, adventure tourism and rogaining all sharing and discussing their issues and concerns.

Outdoors WA is compiling the submissions on the night. We encourage all interested members of the sector that may be impacted to make a submission to Premier and Cabinet to highlight their concerns.

More details can be found on how to do that here:

The Perth and Peel regions are projected to grow to 3.5 million people by 2050 – an increase of almost 70% on our current population. Supporting this growth while protecting our unique natural environment is a significant challenge.

How will this plan impact our outdoor pursuits?
