This report contains the full text of the Land Conservation Council's final recommendations for the North Central Study Area. These provide an ongoing framework for public use of land in the North Central Study Area. The recommendations in the text have been edited to reflect government variations and amendments at the time of approval, and subsequent changes.

The recommendations are grouped under major headings, such as Parks, Reference Areas, Wildlife, Historic Areas, Bushland Reserves and so on. Key recommendations are for Kara Kara State Park, Kooyoora/Melville Caves State Park, Kamarooka State Park and Whipstick State Park.

Note that recommendations for much of the North Central Area have been replaced by those in ECC's Box-Ironbark Forests & Woodlands Investigation Final Report, except between Glenorchy and Cope Cope, the southern Pyrenees, and around Clunes, Corop and Dingee.

The .pdf maps of the recommendations are scanned versions of the maps as originally published. They have not been edited to reflect any government variations and amendments, and subsequent changes.
