Inquiry into recreational hunting in Western Australia

18 March 2014

The Bibbulmun Track Foundation is not in favour of allowing recreational hunting in WA’s parks and has made a submission outlining its concerns.

Key points are walker safety, unauthorised access of Bibbulmun Track facilities by hunters resulting in negative experiences for walkers and serious doubt that such a scheme would make any environmental contribution to controlling pest animals.

The public can make submissions until Friday, March 28. A submission must address the terms of reference. Details can be found on parliament.wa.gov.au.
