Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service (PWS) has developed a recreation management plan for the Dial Range. The management plan will update the current Dial Range Recreation Management Plan 2000 to reflect changes in recreation activities and land tenure in the area. The recreation management plan, which is jointly funded between the PWS and CCC, will replace the current 2000 plan.
The Dial Range is located near Penguin in Northwest Tasmanian and includes land managed by the PWS, Central Coast Council (CCC) and Sustainable Timber Tasmania (STT). The Dial Range attracts a diverse range of users from mountain bike riders to walkers, hikers, recreational vehicles, horse riding and ecological enthusiasts.
In February 2020, PWS and the CCC invited public participation in the review of the Dial Range Recreation Management Plan 2000 though community forums and written submissions. Many recreation clubs, and local organisations and businesses contributed to the forums.
The draft Dial Range Recreation Management Plan 2021 details the different recreation activities now available in the Dial Range. The draft Plan includes strategies to protect the reserve's natural and cultural values, as well as encourage and improve recreational activities for visitors.
