MANAGING OUR LAND CONSERVATION
The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Environment and Heritage
will undertake an inquiry into the Impact of Conservation Controls imposed
on landholders by government.
The Inquiry, which will be advertised in both metropolitan and regional
press from 1 April 2000, has been requested by the Minister for Environment
and Heritage, Senator Robert Hill.
The House Environment Committee, chaired by the Hon Ian Causley, will
consider:
- the impact of conservation measures imposed by governments on landholders
and farmers;
- international developments in ameliorating the cost of conservation
for landholders;
- how to establish the private and public good components of conservation;
and
- how to equitably share the costs associated with conservation among
all members of the community.
