Mount Arapiles rock climbing

Emma KEALY (Lowan) presented a petition bearing 10,373 signatures:

Issue:

This petition of residents in Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly the Allan Labor Government’s devastating decision to close large portions of rock-climbing areas in Mt Arapiles (Dyurrite), and its failure to consult with the climbing community and local residents impacted by this decision.

Action:

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly calls on the government to engage in transparent and expanded consultation with all stakeholders, and demands that established climbing routes and The Pines campground are not removed until such consultation occurs.

Ordered that petition be considered tomorrow.
