Overview
In partnership with Traditional Owner groups, Parks Victoria is preparing a new management plan for the Grampians landscape, an area that covers the Grampians National Park and adjacent parks and reserves.
The new management plan (the plan) will underpin strategic planning for the Grampians landscape over the next 15 years to ensure that precious environmental and cultural values of this iconic landscape are preserved for future generations to enjoy.
The scope of this project includes environmental conservation, cultural heritage and protection of Aboriginal rock art, recreational activities, tourism opportunities, safety and visitor experience.
Discussion papers have been prepared on a range of management topics. These can be downloaded from the background information section on this page.
The first round of engagement closed on Sunday 6, October. Parks Victoria thanks everyone who took the time to contribute their feedback and ideas to the future plan. All of the feedback received is being analysed and a engagement findings report is being prepared.
