Recherche Bay

The issue of a logging road crossing the Southport Wildlife Sanctuary to access the NE Peninsula of Recherche has involved the TNPA in meetings with the Tasmanian Heritage Council, the Australian Conservation Foundation and the National Parks Australia Council. Pressure brought to bear by the TNPA has been partly responsible for the Heritage Council's resolution, yet to be accepted by the Premier (as Minister for Heritage), to protect the historic D'Entrecasteaux site.
Efforts to ensure the protection of this region met with success when the Tasmanian Land Conservancy, with the generous support of Dick Smith, purchased the property. See the Tasmanian Land Conservancy web site for details.
