A Tasmanian Aboriginal corporation has doubled down on its opposition to developments on Hobart's Mount Wellington.
The Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre says infrastructure developments on the "sacred mountain" would result in its destruction.
The Centre's campaign coordinator, Nala Mansell, said proposed tourism attractions including a cable car and zip lines were opposed by the TAC, arguing the mountain had been subject to one "massive big fight after another".
"We saved kunanyi from this horrible cable car. Now… they're talking about zip lines and so many other things," Ms Mansell told local radio on Monday.
"I just wish non-Aboriginal people or the government could completely understand the natural beauty … You can love the natural beauty of something without having to get so close to it that it must be destroyed."
In rejecting the suggestion of the mountain being developed differently if Aboriginal people were given management of the land, Ms Mansell instead called for the Tasmanian Government to employ Indigenous rangers to attract tourists to the 1,271m peak.
"I think the government should definitely employ Aboriginal rangers … to explain the cultural, heritage significance of kunanyi but certainly no deals where we'd see such a magnificent, untouched, sacred mountain be destroyed in order to get those jobs," she said.
Ms Mansell's comments come following the release of the Terms of Reference for the Tasmanian Government's strategic review of the mountain.
The government says the review will help develop a long-term vision of the mountain to ensure the mountain can cope with projected future visitor numbers while meeting community expectations.
Tasmanian Minister for Business, Industry and Resources, Eric Abetz, said Mount Wellington's transport and visitor infrastructure was already struggling to accommodate the mountain's more than 410,000 annual visitors.
"The infrastructure on the mountain is ageing and outdated, meaning it is no longer suited to its purpose and that is something we need to look closely at," Mr Abetz said.
"The mountain is an important part of Tasmania's identity, and for locals and visitors alike, we need to make sure the mountain lives up to Tasmania's reputation of quality experiences and maintains its place as one of our premier natural tourism attractions."
The state government review will focus on three key areas: administration, user experience, and values management, the latter considering aspects including heritage and cultural importance, environmental values, the protection of flora and fauna and the view of the mountain from Hobart.
Land management including fire management and water protection, land tenure, governance and funding and planning arrangements will also be reviewed, as well as sustainable recreation and access, transport solutions for the pinnacle and other areas of the park, and both new and existing facilities and infrastructure.
Mr Abetz said the review will ensure an accurate snapshot of current arrangements and facilities is determined, before careful consideration is made to assist the mountain maintain its renowned visitor status.
Public feedback will be sought when the review's formal consultation process opens in the coming months, with a final report and recommendations expected to be provided to government in mid-2025.
