The State Government is expanding recreational hunting in East Gippsland, boosting tourism, supporting local jobs and helping control wild deer.
Minister for Outdoor Recreation Steve Dimopoulos announced that the National Parks Act will be amended to allow seasonal deer hunting in Errinundra and Snowy River National Park.
This will allow seasonal deer stalking in some 130,000 hectares of the two parks and means most public land in eastern Victoria will be available for recreational deer hunting.
