Bundesheer acquires lease areas: military area becomes a local recreation area!
In a remarkable step, the Federal Army at the military training area (TÜPL) Seetaler Alpe in the Murtal bought the previous lease areas of around 431 hectares. The deal was approved by the state government this week. Mayor Elke Florian took the sale for the municipality, which is now richer by 3.5 million euros, as a great success, since this is a sum that she would otherwise have achieved in over 200 years. This information was reported by
The purchase contract stated that the land can be used as before and that no permanent restricted area will be built. Access to the civilian population remains, and the Armed Forces undertakes to observe the natural and landscape conditions. Colonel Manfred Hofer made it clear that the protection of sensitive areas such as high bogs is part of the planning. These aspects were crucially taken into account in a position paper from the Alpine Club for sale. Some buildings such as the Schmelzhütte and the mountain rescue hut are excluded from the sale, and existing agreements are continued in the old conditions. The topic of national defense was taken up at the Federal Army New Year's reception, in which numerous guests from politics and business were present. Colonel Bernhard Gruber spoke about the challenges that the Ukraine war for Austria brings with it as a neutral state. The expenditure for national defense is to be increased to 1.5 percent of the gross domestic product, which is a significant increase in currently 0.67 percent, such as Kleinezeitung.at reported. This shows a clear reaction to the uncertainties in the region and the will to strengthen the willingness to defend. effects of purchase and future use
