Dargan Creek (Dams Cliff) Plan of Management 4-Nov-2012 At 9:07:53 PM SRC Access Officer

Message

Hi all

The Dargan Creek Plan of Management was formally adopted on 12 September 2012 and can be found at: http://www.lpma.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/175359/Dargan_Creek_Reserve_Plan_of_Management.pdf

On a brief review:
- the plan is suitably vague as to whether vehicles will be allowed to drive into the dams cliff car park (section 3.2). At the meeting in Clarence a few months ago, one of the Crown Lands people had indicated they would do this so we could continue to discuss and develop this issue after the Plan was adopted.
- continue to allow swimming (3.3).
- continue to allow climbing (without any requirement to obtain approval to bolt/re-bolt any climbs) (3.4).
- continue to allow guided climbing and canyoning (3.5).

Pretty good outcome, methinks. Thanks again to all those who took time to make a submission.

I had previously applied to be on the Trust that would manage the Reserve, but have recently been informed that because of limited interest no appointments to the Trust have been made at this time. If you are interested in being part of the Trust that manages the Reserve, please contact the Dubbo Crown Lands Office (02 6884 2067) or e-mail dubbocrownlands@lands.nsw.gov.au.
