Peak Conservation Organisation

“Mr Lynch, a director of the Trust, gave evidence that the Trust had been identified by the Commonwealth as the representative Tasmanian conservation organisation, through which the Commonwealth deals on conservation issues. The Trust is one of eight members of a forum known as the Peak Conservation Organisation. This is a group established in 1983, by the then Commonwealth Minister for the Environment and consists of peak state conservation bodies and two national conservation bodies. The Trust has been a member since the inception of the Peak Conservation Organisation. The forum is funded by the Commonwealth and meets with the Minister four times a year to discuss conservation issues.”
