Wondering how you can help? Here are some ideas …
CONTACT YOUR LOCAL MEMBERS:
We suggest you start with emailing your thoughts on the proposed cable car development to Clark Liberal Members & cc the Premier Jeremy Rockliff & Labour leader Rebecca White.
elise.archer@parliament.tas.gov.au
madeleine.ogilvie@parliament.tas.gov.au
jeremy.rockliff@parliament.tas.gov.au
rebecca.white@parliament.tas.gov.au
If you don’t live in the Clark electorate consider also contacting your local members. Key points you might like to include are that:
– the development has been through the proper, statutory process, including the developer exercising its right to appeal and the cable car was comprehensively rejected on many diverse ground;
· the cable car proposal assessed in the appeal before the independent planning tribunal was described by the proponent as its ‘best effort’ and all alternative routes and options had been thoroughly investigated and dismissed;
· prolonging the cable car saga with special approval for the Premier’s mates will not succeed and simply further delay progress on genuine solutions to the tourist and visitor pressure facing the mountain;
· the cable car proposal is not a green “ecotourism” venture. It involves clearing of large areas of native reserve & habitat at both the base & pinnacle stations, it is not a traffic solution and may in fact increased traffic due to visitations to the summit in private vehicles to visit pinnacle facilities
