Case Study: The Lake Elizabeth Area of National Estate

Overview

• Maps within the Otway Forest Management Plan misrepresent the size of the Lake Elizabeth area of National Estate that is listed by the Australian Heritage Commission. Link
  
  
• Landslide risk at Lake Elizabeth not made clear in the Otway Forest Management Plan. Link
  
  
• The West RFA process ignored the National Estate listing of the Lake Elizabeth Area. Link
