This document is the pest management strategy for the Far South Coast Region and covers the southeast forest areas of NSW stretching between Batemans Bay in the north, and the Victorian border in the south. The region extends inland to include the southern escarpment and parts of the Southern Tablelands including the major towns of Bombala and Braidwood.
The proposal to establish two wilderness pilot trials for horse riding was the subject of these amendments to the Far South Coast Escarpment Parks Plan of Management. The plan of management covers Monga National Park, Deua National Park, Gourock National Park, Wadbilliga National Park and Badja Swamps Nature Reserve.
The amendments to Far South Coast Escarpment Parks Plan of Management, Kosciuszko National Park Plan of Management and Mummel Gulf National Park and State Conservation Area Plan of Management enable horse riding to continue in specific wilderness areas. These amendments were adopted by the Minister for the Environment on 13 February 2019.
This amends the Far South Coast Escarpment Parks Plan of Management to enable a trial of horse riding on two identified routes through wilderness in Deua and Monga National Parks for a period of two years.
The Far South Coast Escarpment Parks include Monga National Park, Deua National Park, Gourock National Park, Wadbilliga National Park and Badja Swamps Nature Reserve. The parks are located on the coastal ranges of South Eastern New South Wales and cover a combined area of over 240,000 hectares.
This fire management strategy incorporates Badja Swamps Nature Reserve, Berlang State Conservation Area, Frogs Hole State Conservation Area and Monga State Conservation Area.
