Background

As noted in Appendix G (Legislative context) and other sections in this part of the plan, a range of actions and activities are prohibited or may be controlled by the Director in Commonwealth reserves under the EPBC Act and Regulations, and certain actions may only be taken by the Director in accordance with this plan. Actions affecting species protected under Part 13 of the Act may be taken in accordance with this plan.

This plan sets out how the park will be managed for a period of 10 years. During that time, circumstances may arise or proposals be brought forward for actions which were not known at the time the plan was prepared and are not covered by specific prescriptions in the plan. It is possible also that during the life of the plan new and better ways of authorising activities may be identified.

Policies

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