Consultation Update

The department sought community feedback on the draft strategy to help ensure a range of ideas and interests were considered in shaping how our protected and conserved areas are expanded and enhanced into the future.

From 4 to 31 August 2025, the department hosted a YourSAy consultation, where the community were invited to provide their feedback via an online survey or written submission. During the community consultation period, the department and council met to discuss additional feedback internally.

This feedback has been collated and used in the development of the final strategy.
