Closure of Mt Warning
Dear Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment,
Can you please identify all members of the Wollumbin Consultative Group who were responsible for extending the closure of Mt Warning after Covid.
I am the personal assistant of Ms Elizabeth Davis Boyd the Ngarkawal women's senior custodian of that mountain and since one side of the mountain is women's business and one side of the mountain is men's business, I need to confirm which Aboriginal people where involved tin that decision.
My appointment was only recently actioned and re-instating public access to Mt Warning, repairing approx $1.5M worth of damage from closing and neglecting the area, we would like to spiritually remediate the site so that our people can come and connect to this very special mountain.
Yours faithfully,
Elizabeth Davis Boyd
