In 1958 a large group of scientists and naturalists in Canberra and Sydney prepared a submission to the Kosciusko State Park Trust and to the Federal Government, favouring the establishment of a 'primitive area' or natural reserve in the Kosciusko State Park of New South Wales. The State Park .Act of 1944-52 provides for the retention of such a 'primitive area' but to date no action along these lines has been taken. The submission was sent to the Prime Minister and to the Minister for National Development. It was, in some respects, critical of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Authority, and the Minister for National Development, in replying to the signatories, virtually rejected the submission.
