Resolution 1 - NATIONAL PARKS ARE FOR NATURE CONSERVATION, NOT TOURIST DEVELOPMENT

That this meeting:

a) is opposed to the NSW Government plans to expand commercial tourism development and in particular construct new accommodation facilities inside National Parks, and amend the National Parks and Wildlife Act and the Wilderness Act to facilitate such developments;

b) supports improved, low impact facilities for National Park visitors and better promotion to encourage more public use, off-park accommodation and other tourist management services in Gateway Towns which support local economies while avoiding destructive impacts on National Parks.

and calls on the Premier Nathan Rees and the Leader of the Opposition, Barry O'Farrell to continue the tradition of low-key, low impact visitor management and use for the NSW national parks estate.

That this meeting opposes the Shooters Party Game and Feral Animal Control Amendment Bill that allows:

a)      hunting in NPs

b)      private game parks

c)      hunting of native animal and birds

d)      release or relocation of introduced birds

and calls on the Premier Nathan Rees and the Leader of the Opposition, Barry O'Farrell to oppose this Bill and see to it that the entire Bill is voted down.

Resolution 3 - INCREASED FUNDING OF NATIONAL PARKS
