Pastoral Act Changes
The SA Government is proposing a brand new Pastoral Act which will determine how the State’s rangelands (some 40% of the land mass of the state) can be managed and commercially developed in future.
The proposed Act is a significant departure from the original Act and will have broad reaching implications.
To explore the issues, the Royal Geographic Society of SA (RGSSA and Rural Media and Communicators SA/NT (RMC) are collaborating to hold a public forum to promote informed discussion.
This public forum will be held from 5.30 to 7.30pm on Friday February 26th in the Allan Scott Auditorium at the Hawke Centre, UniSA’s City West Campus - see the attached flyer for further details.
Participation is free of charge, but you must book here to attend:
https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/a-public-forum-on-the-pastoral-act-for-sa-registration-140959135569?aff=ebdssbeac
The purpose is to allow constructive conversation and to include representatives of key interest groups. A panel of representatives from Government, Livestock SA, the Conservation, Indigenous, Tourism and 4WD interest groups will discuss the issues and take questions from the audience. Primary Industries Minister David Basham has carriage of the new Act and has been invited to be a key participant of the panel.
All of these interest groups approach the proposed Act from different perspectives and have strong interest in speaking to the future of land management and public access in the pastoral zone of the State.
RMC and RGSSA take no position on the proposed Act but are pleased to collaborate to provide a platform for informed discussion of matters of importance to their members and the broader community.
If you have an interest in Public Access routes, please show you support ant attend this important forum. Please tell other members of your club.
