COUNTRY Women’s Association is taking up the fight against river camping after Dingee branch won the support of other northern group branches.
Dingee members took a motion to the weekend’s group conference calling for a halt in the State Government rollout until “management, biosecurity, risks and insurance issues are addressed”.
Loddon farmers have raised concern of biosecurity risks after Government assessors wandered through a Serpentine vineyard and Fernihurst’s Jude Hannah received an assessment letter for land infested with the noxious weed silver nightshade.,
Dingee CWA branch president Robyn Brown said the group conference attended by delegates representing branches in Bendigo and other districts agreed to progress a motion to the annual state conference later this year.
“Discussion took place at the last CWA Dingee meeting where they are requesting the Victorian Government, in consultation with licensees, to revisit issues in relation to camping on licenced crown land water frontage and address concerns including responsibilities, biosecurity, security and other concerns,” Robyn said.
“It is intended to advocate on behalf of all involved and affected by this new river camping law for the opportunity to have the rules associated with management of the rules re-examined.”
