The Development Application for helicopter-accessed tourist accommodation at Lake Malbena, in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, was rejected by 6 votes to 3 at the Central Highlands Council meeting on 26th February 2019. A common theme amongst the comments made by councillors was the failure of process –a small rural council should never have been required to make the key decisions about impacts on World Heritage values.
