Forico sale

Wondering what this might mean for access to walks - especially what's allowed or not.

Everett, Loongana Range, possibly Cattley and some others that escape me at the moment. I think it's always possible that SST will sell off more. Some of what still shows up as SST on LISTmap has been sold off to private companies.
Everett 2, Tortoise 0, trying to avoid needing to apply for the permit, doing risk assessment/management documents (my favourite :roll: ) and paying the money.

Unisuper are one of the buyers. I'm a member, do you think it will help in getting access?

be nice if whoever takes over does something about the amazing crop of English broom they've farmed up in that area.

I think Forico blocked access for people getting into the Huskisson River for packrafting, so it'd be nice if that got opened up.
