BUSHCARE: Bushland Management Strategy for Hobart City Council March 2008

The strategy provides an overview of Hobart’s bushland with an accompanying map which illustrates the extent of Hobart’s bushland by tenure. It outlines the statutory and strategic obligations with regard to bushland management, presents a vision statement for driving the future management and protection of Hobart’s bushland, establishes guiding principles that define and distinguish Hobart’s bushland and outlines nine key objectives that will contribute to achieving the long term vision.

It goes on to examine seventeen management issues that relate to the effective management and protection of Hobart’s bushland. Some of the issues include flora management; weed management; Aboriginal heritage management; recreational use of bushland, encroachment and off-reserve impacts; awareness, education and volunteer management; and resources planning and operations.
