QPWS have released a consultation draft: Naturally Queensland 2020, the Master Plan for protected areas, forests and wildlife.

The consultation period closes on 20 November 2011.

The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) is charged with managing protected areas and forests, as well as the irreplaceable wildlife that lives alongside us and shares the environment we all depend on.

For the past 10 years the 2001 Master Plan for Queensland’s parks system has helped guide the way QPWS manages national parks to protect natural and cultural values.

From July until December 2011 the Master Plan is being updated to reflect the challenges and opportunities that QPWS will face over the next 10 years. It will address all aspects of QPWS business, including protected areas on land and sea, as well as forests and wildlife.

A consultation draft has been developed: Naturally Queensland 2020, the Master Plan for protected areas, forests and wildlife.

This draft can be downloaded from the following link the QPWS Park Master Plan Website

You are encouraged to comment to help set the scene for the future of protected areas, forests and wildlife in Queensland.

The consultation period will close on 20 November 2011.
