Constituency questions
Lowan electorate
Emma KEALY (Lowan) (14:47): (1250) My constituency question is to the Minister for Environment, and the information I seek is: when will Coleraine Field and Game will be granted a renewed licence to shoot in and to care for their home range of 75 years at the northern end of Mount Dundas? Coleraine Field and Game have been working very closely with Parks Victoria since 2020, when they were told that there were cultural heritage assessments that needed to take place. Every single time Parks have put forward an issue, Coleraine Field and Game have worked towards a solution and then been met with another barrier. They have worked with local elders to ensure that all cultural heritage matters and the impact on that local area have been appropriately managed, which they have. They have dealt with local land councils. Coleraine Field and Game have now met all cultural obligations, they have met all environmental obligations and they have met all legislative obligations, but now they are being told they still cannot go in due to some proposed Central Highlands greater national park. I ask: when will they be allowed back to their home range?
