The greater majority of the Inquiry into the Utilisation of Native Victorian Flora and Fauna was undertaken by the Environment and Natural Resources Committee of the 53rd Parliament. This Committee conducted hearings, considered submissions, commissioned research projects and undertook inspections across Victoria as well as interstate and overseas. Prior to the calling of the election and consequent lapsing of the Inquiry it had substantially completed its report.
The new Environment and Natural Resources Committee has reviewed the work of the previous Committee and has, with a limited number of amendments, endorsed it.
In adopting the following inquiry report, the Environment and Natural Resources Committee of the 54th Parliament acknowledges the comprehensive work of its predecessor.
George Seitz, MP
Chairman
