"Community workshops are being held throughout May across all Victorian regions to introduce the Brumby Government’s Land and Biodiversity Green Paper. Environment and Climate Change Minister Gavin Jennings said the community workshops will allow Victorians to provide feedback on the Land and Biodiversity Green Paper. “Private sector investment in the environment and opportunities for business and farmers are key parts of the Land and Biodiversity Green Paper so it’s vital that the community has an opportunity to comment on it,” Mr Jennings said. “The Land and Biodiversity Green Paper provides a framework for how Victorians will look after the environment over the next 50 years as the effects of climate change place further pressure on our biodiversity and ecosystems. The Green Paper’s vision is that all Victorians will participate in actively restoring and conserving our ecosystems to ensure healthy land, seas and waterways."
