What is proposed?

The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) has exhibited three documents that will determine the future of cycling in NSW’ national parks and reserves: the draft Cycling Policy; draft Cycling Strategy; and draft Implementation Guidelines. These three documents describe the types of cycling experiences that will be provided in parks; define how roads, tracks and trails are selected as suitable for cycling; set design standards for dedicated cycling facilities; and propose measures to ensure that any environmental impacts are detected and remediated.

NPA has completed its submission on the draft Plan of Management for Mount Canobolas SCA published by NPWS.

Mount Canobolas State Conservation Reserve is a significant reserve in Central Western New South Wales. It is an important feature of the Orange District and brings economic benefits, including tourism. Its highest value, however, is for nature conservation. An extinct volcano, Mount Canobolas stands out in the landscape, being one of few subalpine ecosystems in central NSW. It supports a wide range of rare and restricted species, with the combination of the geology, location, altitude and biodiversity making it a unique natural wonder.
