If Victoria’s national parks do not get the resources they need, our natural areas will continue to decline and recovery will be difficult.
If they are well resourced, nature has a very good chance for the future. And we’ll all benefit from a healthy environment.
Therefore, I call on the Victorian Government to:
- Immediately return Parks Victoria funding to at least 2010-11 levels (an increase of at least $30 million a year).
- Develop a future funding plan ensuring substantial increases to build the resources and expertise to fix up our parks, and address the many threats including weeds, pests and the pressures of climate change.
- Make parks special places with appropriate tracks, signs and facilities so they are welcoming to all Victorians.
This petition will be delivered to:
- Victorian Premier
Daniel Andrews - Victorian Environment Minister
