conservation issues and other issues of mutual interest.
4.7.9          Implement strategies to increase community and stakeholder involvement in contributing to the management of the park and botanic garden, including developing and supporting appropriate volunteer activities.

4.8 Activities not otherwise specified in this plan

         Our aim
         The Director is able to respond to new issues and proposals consistent with this plan and the EPBC Act and Regulations.

         Measuring how well we are meeting our aim

         Extent to which new issues are dealt with effectively and consistent with the principles and policies set out in this plan

         Background
         This plan sets out how the park and botanic garden will be managed for a period of ten years. During that time, circumstances may arise or proposals be brought forward for actions which are not known or anticipated at the time this plan is being prepared and which will require the Director to take actions that are not covered by specific prescriptions and actions in this plan.

         As noted in Appendix B, Legislative context, under ss.354 and 354A of the EPBC Act certain types of actions can only be taken if they are authorised by this plan (including acts in relation to native species, works, and actions for commercial purposes). Actions affecting members of species protected under Part 13 of the Act may be taken in accordance with this plan.

         Section 358(2) of the EPBC Act allows the Director to grant a lease, sublease, or licence relating to land in the park and botanic garden provided it is in accordance with a management plan.

         The Director is required by the Act (s.362) to exercise the Director's powers e.g. to issue permits and to perform the Director's functions so as to give effect to the plan.

         Issue
         This plan needs to enable appropriate actions to be taken and authorised that are not specified by other prescriptions and actions in the plan because they are not foreseen at the time of writing this plan.

         Prescriptions
4.8.1          The Director may take actions that are not covered by specific prescriptions and actions in this plan, including actions covered by ss.354 and 354A of the EPBC Act.

4.8.2          The Director may authorise (whether by permit, contract, lease or licence) actions by other persons that are not covered by specific prescriptions and actions in this plan, including actions covered by ss.354 and 354A of the EPBC Act or the EPBC Regulations.

4.8.3          The Director may grant leases, subleases and licences relating to land in the park and botanic garden.

4.8.4          Except in cases of emergency, the impact assessment processes prescribed in Section 4.1 of this plan apply to actions under this Section.
