New Walking Track Section in Beowa National Park

The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service is seeking feedback on the draft review of environmental factors for a proposal to construct a new walking track section in Beowa National Park.

 

The proposed activity involves the construction of a section of The Gateway to the Bundian Way walking track within Beowa National Park from near The Pinnacles car park south to the intersection of North Head Track and an unnamed track directly south near Worange Point. The Eden Local Aboriginal Land Council is the proponent for the project and once complete, the track would be available for the public to access. The track would be owned and operated by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service.

Draft review of environmental factors: Gateway to the Bundian Way Walking Track

A review of environmental factors documents the environmental impact assessment of proposed activities on lands managed by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS). It examines the significance of likely environmental impacts and measures required to avoid, minimise, and mitigate adverse impacts on the environment.
