Advocacy
Bushwalking Victoria's advocacy efforts aim to proactively influence decisions that impact on bushwalking and bushwalkers in Victoria, by engaging with key decision makers and land managers such as Parks Victoria and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) to ensure that bushwalking issues and opportunities are understood and considered when policies and decisions are made that impact on the bushwalking community in Victoria.
Bushwalking Victoria also works with peak bodies such as Outdoors Victoria and Bushwalking Australia to develop and support policies, initiatives, submissions and other advocacy activities.
Bushwalking Victoria's advocacy on behalf of bushwalkers frequently involves making formal submissions to the formulation of public land management plans and other proposals and issues affecting the integrity and bushwalking amenity of our natural areas.
