Aboriginal leaders are urging the Tasmanian government to rule out reopening 4WD tracks on culturally significant land in the state s rugged northwest.
A cultural assessment report found a proposal to allow off-road vehicles on three tracks in the Arthur-Pieman Conservation Area does not minimise risk to Aboriginal heritage sites.
The tracks, which contain middens thousands of years old plus stone artefacts, were closed in 2012.
The Liberal government pledged to reopen them during the 2014 election campaign and had a legal challenge against the closure dismissed in the Federal Court two years later. This report . I think it will kill the idea that these areas should be subjected to 4WDs. The government doesn t really have anywhere to go, Aboriginal Land Council chairman Michael Mansell told AAP.

Western Australian Aboriginal Affairs Minister Stephen Dawson has said new Aboriginal cultural heritage legislation will look to repeal the controversial
Aboriginal Heritage (Marandoo) Act 1992 (WA), despite saying earlier in the week the Act’s future was “yet to be determined”.
Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA), was still being considered among other amendments to the new Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Bill.
“The draft Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Bill proposes the repeal of the Aboriginal Heritage (Marandoo) Act 1992,” Minister Dawson said.
“The State Government has been in discussion with Rio Tinto and Traditional Owners about this matter.”
WGAC made a submission to the Juukan Gorge inquiry on Friday publicising allegations of deliberate cultural heritage destruction by Rio Tinto prior to Juukan Gorge.
