Vic Parks Camping Fee Proposal 19-Nov-2013 At 2:29:39 PM Will_P

Tempting as it may be to think this is all some complex government conspiracy, government departments just don't work like that.

This is most likely the result of some kind of review of Parks Vic and revenue sources, with the recommendation being 'increase revenue from parks users'. The proposals in the RIS are likely the result of 12+ months work by a mid-level working group, reporting to a steering committee, with timeframes that haven't allowed proper consultation. With enough constructive feedback, they'll adapt their recommendations to meet the satisfaction of stakeholders. (Yes, I can talk the same language, with the occasional 'dude' thrown in for balance)

It's a bureaucratic and project management process, not a conspiracy.
