This comes after a packed public meeting at Coles Bay on Tuesday discussed the draft revised Freycinet Peninsula Master Plan, and the need to look into how many visitors the park can hold.

Meeting convenor Sophie Underwood, of the Freycinet Action Network, said a revised plan should at least identify a pathway to ensure that the carrying capacity of Freycinet National Park is established and enforced.

However, Tourism Industry Council of Tasmania chief executive Luke Martin said a visitor cap was unnecessary.

"Given the state of car parking at the National Park and demand on infrastructure in their community, it is no wonder local residents are asking questions about future visitor growth," he said.

"Freycinet is not at risk of over-tourism if we manage visitor demand effectively and invest in infrastructure to take pressure off the town, by concentrating vehicle parking away from the National Park and the town, and fixing the bloody sewerage."

Mr Martin said these were measures that should have taken place a long time ago, but was glad the community was seeing progress.

"A visitor cap is an unnecessary and simplistic idea that would create more problems than solutions - can you imagine the uproar if the gate literally came down and locked out Tasmanians and visitors from accessing the Park over peak holiday periods? It would be bedlam," he said. "That's not what Tasmania is about, and surely we can be smarter than this in addressing community concerns through investment and sensible visitor management."

The plan will be open for public comment until Friday, April 26 at 9am.
