Join the conversation with a better online communityAccording to the Canberra Times, the plan includes allowing vehicle access along the Summit Trail to Kosciusko (to near the toilets?) to drop hikers off, and allowing tourists to be dropped off by helicopter.
Concern over Kosciuszko tourism blueprint
The crunch of tyres on gravel hasn't been heard on the summit of Mt Kosciuszko for 44 years...www.canberratimes.com.au
Helicopters I don't want. A troopie or 2 up the summit road is no big deal. I have no truck with the idea that access to the backcountry should be confined to people (of both sexes) with beards and their own personal scroggin recipe.
My theory is that Perisher and Thredbo (and to a lesser extent Charlottes and Guthega) are pretty much trashed. Development should be allowed provided that the CEO of each resort is required to drink a schooner of water taken from just downstream of the water treatment plant every day.
It's 9 km each way from the Charlotte Pass gate to the Kosi summit. If I could catch a fair priced bus to Rawsons Pass that would suit myself and many less mobile park users. $5 each way say. Oh and if there is to be an increase in the $17/day summer park entry - which has been that for a while - don't whack it up by$5 or $8 in one go. Be smart and do it gradually or be dumb and link it to inflation or 4% whichever is the greater like they have with tollways. You know who loses then. Oh, and not schooners - jugs

^they only let people submit because they're forced to.
They dgaf what the public think.
They'll overpay themselves for endless planning and they'll overpay their mates to do the work.
If you think their is anything the public can say to influence them, buy my unicorn. It's for sale.
Sadly I suspect you are correct and all the forumites can do is tease about the surname.
I laughed.
