a permit is otherwise required under Sections 10.3 to 10.13. An approval may be issued to a single person (an 'individual approval') or to a class of persons for a particular activity or for a class of activities (a 'class approval').

     10.1.6          An approval may be issued subject to conditions, and may be suspended or cancelled, and approval conditions may be varied or revoked, with approval of the Board, in the same manner and subject to the same conditions that apply to permits under Part 17 of the EPBC Regulations. A class approval may also be varied to remove a person from the class of approved persons if the Director is satisfied the person has breached a condition of the approval.

     10.1.7          In assessing an application for an authorisation, the Director may ask the applicant for more information if the Director considers there is insufficient information to decide whether to issue the authorisation.

     10.1.8          Decisions about authorisations will be made in accordance with Section 4.1 (Making decisions and working together), including taking into account the impact assessment of the proposal under Section 9.5 (Assessment of proposals).

Background

As noted in the background to section 10 and Appendix G (Legislative context), the EPBC Act and Regulations control or enable the Director to control a range of activities in Commonwealth reserves. Some provisions apply to particular activities; others relate to activities generally and include provisions enabling the Director to:

    * determine areas where waste may be disposed of (r.12.14B)
    * prohibit or restrict access or activities (rr.12.23 and 12.23A)
    * determine adventurous activities and areas where adventurous activities may be done (r.12.26)
    * determine camping areas and camping sites and associated use conditions (r.12.28)
    * make determinations about use of fireplaces approved by the Director (r.12.30)
    * prohibit or restrict use of vehicle access roads and vehicle access tracks (r.12.42)
    * prohibit or restrict walking or riding on roads and tracks (r.12.55)
    * make determinations about use of vessels, including to prohibit use, control anchoring and mooring, and set speed limits (r.12.56)
    * make determinations about use of aircraft in and over reserves (r.12.58).

At the time of preparing this plan the EPBC Regulations (r.12.26) prohibit certain adventurous activities in the park other than in accordance with a permit from the Director, or in an area approved by the Director. To protect park values and in the interest of public safety these activities, which include climbing, abseiling and jumping from cliffs and rock faces, will not be allowed (see Section 10.7: Recreational activities). Where necessary, the Regulations (r.12.23A) also enable the Director to restrict or prohibit other activities from occurring in all or
