WORLD HERITAGE CAMPING

World Heritahge: even though Springbrook is beautiful, it must always be remembered that the World Heritage listing for Springbrook National Park relates to its unique biodiversity, not to its scenic beauty. All decisions for the future of Springbrook must be predicated on this fact.

Independent and rigorous research is required in order to properly understand the implications of this World Heritage listing. Merely assuming that some strategies might have no or minimal impact is not good enough. It is just a guessing game.

The results of government 'visioning' in the past show the results of ad hoc development:

THE SPRINGBROOK NATIONAL PARK CAMPING AREA.
This is one of the reasons this Association is so concerned about the latest 'visioning' plan - see separate blog. Springbrook and its visitors deserve better than this - and so does the world.

SPRINGBROOK LOCALe continues the tradition of publication involving matters concerning local affairs by the SPRINGBROOK/WUNBURRA PROGRESS ASSOCIATION INCORPORATED that began with the SPRINGBROOK LOCAL in 1980-81. It is an initiative of the Springbrook/Wunburra Progress Association Incorporated that has been an active community group on this beautiful plateau for over thirty years. Its aim is to care for Springbrook. During this period, this Association has involved itself in the maintenance and preservation of this unique part of the world. The efforts of this Association have seen numerous development proposals challenged when these threaten the qualities that make Springbrook special. This e-publication continues this work and seeks to keep those interested in the future of Springbrook informed with accurate, unbiased information and rational analysis and debate.
