In July 2011, the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) released a consultation draft of ‘Naturally Queensland 2020: The Master Plan for protected areas, forests and wildlife’. This document has been developed to update the original QPWS Master Plan, which was endorsed by Cabinet and released in 2001.
The 2001 Master Plan has provided strategic guidance for QPWS over the past 10 years. Revising the Master Plan provides QPWS and the community with the opportunity to reflect on past challenges and successes, and to set the direction for 2020.
