Some results of the BBSB exhibition of options

During 2002 the Government worked with key stakeholders to develop a range of options based on three years of data collection and assessment in the bioregion. In October 2002 the community was invited to comment on these options, none of which necessarily represents the preferred position of the NSW Government.

In response to the exhibition the government received 1712 submissions. These submissions were analysed and the results forwarded to government. Click Here for details of the analysis of the submissions. The analysis shows a summary on the basis of the preferred option identified (A-F, WCA, BRUS or no preference), preferred submission type (form submission, letter or major submission), broad category of response (conservationist, timber industry, aboriginal or other) and whether the submission was from within or outside the Brigalow Belt South Bioregion.

An information kit on the options is still available. The information kit includes:

• Background info on the Brigalow Belt South Bioregion assessment
• Background to the development of options
• A description of eight options which propose various reserve designs while providing a range of wood volumes available from State forests.
• Maps relating to each option, plus a map showing the Aboriginal stakeholders’ proposal.
• Consensus issues identified by members of the regional community through the Brigalow Stakeholder Group.
• Summaries from stakeholder groups
• Project summaries
• Project reports
