Start the conversation

The ACT Parks and Conservation Service is calling on the community to take part in its Visitor Experience Survey to help improve the Territory’s parks, reserves and plantations.

Leading the call, the Minister for Planning and Land Management, Mick Gentleman said the Government was dedicated to continually improving these beautiful spaces for locals and visitors to enjoy.

“No Canberran lives further than 3.5km from a nature reserve, national park, or pine plantation,” Mr Gentleman said.

“With 39 parks and reserves in Canberra Nature Park, there is a lot of variety and choice about what to do, whether it’s exercising, having fun or sightseeing,” he said.

“We want to hear from anyone who visits our parks and reserves.”

Mr Gentleman said the Parks, Reserves and Plantations Visitor Experience Survey was open online until 31 May.

He said visitors to the parks, reserves and plantations may also encounter a field officer conducting face-to-face surveys.

“We know that the Canberra community loves our parks, and we want to know more about how they use them and what they think we could improve,” the Minister said.

“Information collected through this survey will help us direct resources into programs and facilities that best suit the needs of our visitors,” he said.

“People who complete the survey will also go into the draw to win a Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve Annual Pass.

“There are three in total up for grabs.”
