Establish A New National Park For The Southern Highlands

To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly, We, the undersigned, acknowledge that environmentally significant lands in Wollondilly and Southern Highlands need protection and connection to the surrounding National Parks. Without protection and designation as a National Park, the land is left under Council control with no investment or protection of Aboriginal artefacts. We ask the Legislative Assembly to call on the NSW Government to: 1. Acknowledge that the Crown Land reserves of Bargo River Gorge in the North and Mount Alexandra in the South of Wollondilly are surrounded by National Park and Environmental protected zones. 2. Recognise the Bargo River Gorge and Mount Alexandra as well as the surrounding Environmental Protected lands provide essential continual tree canopy that is used by native wildlife and is integral to the Cumberland Plain Conservation Area. 3. Establish a new Southern Highlands National Park which includes the Crown Land reserves of Bargo River Gorge and Mount Alexandra as well as associated Crown Lands in Wollondilly. 4. Create a Planning Considerations document to consider the Environmental Protected C2 Land surrounding the National Park for integration into the park plan for protection, covering recreational use and Aboriginal artifacts.
