Oh no, now I see: they'll have specially trained kelpies to take the punters through. Droving, Australian Alps style - through the sheeps' eyes.

unless this interferes with our ability to turn a dollar.
It has been suggested there will be no snow on the mountain by 2050 so why are they encouraging further development in the resort? ... What happens outside the resort matters less to them.

Is the PV advice misleading and is a permit needed for camping away from the platforms at Cope and Dibbins Huts?

There was no reply to this, nor would I expect one unless I was incorrect. As PV did not contradict me I think it's reasonable to conclude that my statement is correct. That is, away from the camping platforms you can camp without a permit. Clarification is being sought.

From my friend in PV who looks after the bookings for these platforms, you can pitch a tent 100m away from a platform and not pay but any closer requires payment. Perhaps it would be good to clarify what the requirements of the conservation zone are. Is that available without having to ask them and get another non response? If questions are not being answered then it is within your rights to complain to the Ombudsman.
