Dr Foskey asked the Minister for the Environment, upon notice, on 16 February 2006:
(1) What proposals is Environment ACT considering for the future use of Gudgenby homestead;
(2) Does Environment ACT consider that low impact uses such as small conferences and artists workshops might be the best use.
Mr Stanhope: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) A number of submissions have been received on the future use of Gudgenby homestead in response to the current review of the Namadgi National Park Draft Management Plan. Submissions on the Namadgi National Park Draft Management Plan were accepted up until 30 November 2005 and these are now being considered. A report on the management plan review will be provided to me later this year.
