This report contains the full text of the Land Conservation Council's final recommendations for the North Eastern Study Area, Districts 3, 4 and 5. These provide an ongoing framework for public use of land in the North Eastern Study Area, Districts 3 and 5. 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, Hardwood Production, Bushland Reserves and so on. Key recommendations are for Mount Buffalo National Park, Wabonga Plateau State Park, and extensive softwood production areas.

Note that recommendations for much of the North Eastern District 4 were replaced by those in the North Eastern (Benalla-upper Murray) Review. ECC's Box-Ironbark Forests & Woodlands Investigation subsequently replaced recommendations for public land within 20 km of the Hume Freeway.

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.
