Welcome to the Stock Routes Coalition website
The Queensland Stock Route Network and the New South Wales Travelling Stock Routes have many values, and should be conserved as Protected Corridors for Travelling Stock and Biodiversity Conservation.
Current happenings
The Queensland Transport, Local Government and Infrastructure Committee has completed its public hearings into the Stock Route Network Management Bill 2011. The submissions and the transcripts are available on their website. Paul Donatiu (NPAQ), Prof Hugh Possingham, and Grahame Rogers (Secretary SRC) were witnesses. The committee is due to report in February.
Since there is an election due early next year, the Bill may not be enacted before parliament dissolves. It is time to talk to the Parties about their policies on Stock Routes.
