        (a)      simplify development and approval processes, including allowing appropriate minor land use and development proposals to proceed without the need for development consent

        (b)      ensure that potential impacts on the values of Kakadu and the environment around the town are considered in development consent applications and appropriate conditions are included where necessary to ensure impacts are minimised.

     8.2.6              Subject to any changes implemented during the life of this plan:

        (a)      Jabiru may continue to be developed in accordance with this plan and the 1981 town plan

        (b)      the terms and conditions of the town lease will be maintained

        (c)       the location and purposes of zones in the town will be as specified in the existing town plan.

     8.2.7              The Director may, with the approval of the Board, agree new tenure arrangements for the town, and approve a new town Planning Scheme prepared by the Northern Territory Government.

     8.2.8              Before making any decisions under Section 8.2.7 the Director will:

        (a)      consult and, if possible, reach agreement with the Mirarr people

        (b)      consult with and have regard to the views of other relevant Bininj/Mungguy and the NLC

        (c)       consult with the JTDA and the West Arnhem Regional Council (or their successors)

        (d)      refer the proposal to the Board for consideration and advice

     and will only approve or proceed with a proposed action if it will provide more benefits than costs to the natural and cultural environment of the park, to Bininj/Mungguy, and to the appropriate use, appreciation and enjoyment of the park by the public.

     8.2.9              The Director may, with the approval of the Board, issue permits and licences authorising recreational activities by Jabiru residents in areas adjoining the town.

     8.2.10          In making decisions about liquor permits the Director will consult and have regard to the views of Bininj/Mungguy, the NLC, local Aboriginal associations and the body known as the Gunbang Action Group (or its successor).

     8.2.11          The Director may take actions covered by ss.354 and 354A of the EPBC Act in Jabiru where they are necessary for preserving or protecting the park (or part of the park) and its values, or protecting or conserving biodiversity or heritage, protecting persons or property, or addressing non-compliance with the town lease(s).
