Nepean Conservation Group 2017 AGM
Saturday 18 February 2017
@ Badcoe Hall Point Nepean National Park @ 3:30pm
Guest speaker – David Gabriel-Jones
David Gabriel-Jones is Principal of The Public Land Consultancy (TPLC), which provides independent advice to managers and users of Crown land and other public land. TPLC’s territory is the governance of parks and reserves, roads and lanes, rivers and coasts. Before founding TPLC David worked for VicRoads, DSE, the Royal Botanic Gardens, and was a Trustee of Yarra Bend Park.
David’s talk will be on the governance of foreshores and off-shore areas.
He will look at the deficiencies of the current Coastal Management Act, and argue that in framing the new Coastal and Marine Act, government should consider a major reworking of coastal jurisdictions, coastal tenures, and coastal funding. He will also suggest expanded advocacy roles for conservation groups.
