Coast to Cradle Wild Country Community Survey

Section 1: About You

A community-led process to shape the future of the Dial Range, Leven Canyon & Black Bluff landscape.

The wild country stretching from Penguin to Cradle Mountain — including the Dial Range, Leven Canyon and Black Bluff — is one of Lutruwita / Tasmania’s most remarkable landscapes. For the first time, the community is helping shape a shared vision for how this place should be cared for into the future. This survey asks about your connection to the area, what you value, how you use it, and what you think the future management approach should be. Your responses will inform the Coast to Cradle Wild Country Vision for the Local, Tasmanian and Australian governments. The survey takes 10–12 minutes. All responses are anonymous unless you choose to share your name.
