Note 1   This table provides a summary of the types of tourism operations in the Planning Area and the conditions of operation that apply. This table also refers to the eligibility criteria in clause 1.34 that apply to tourism operations. This summary covers most, but not necessarily all, types of tourism operations. All tourism operations, including those not covered, require normal assessment processes for the granting of the relevant permissions.

Note 2   Commercial access to National Parks adjacent to the Planning Area requires a Commercial Activity Permit from the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service.

Note 3   For setting restrictions, see subclauses 1.27 (4) and 2.5 (1), (2) and (3).

Division 5 Transitional arrangements

1.33 Tourism management

 (1) This Plan provides for:
 (a) relevant permissions that may be granted to tourism operations; and
 (b) exemptions to certain requirements of this Plan for tourism operations that meet this Plan's required eligibility criteria.

 (2) This approach requires a clear definition of the types of tourism operations operating in the Planning Area (see Table 2), and has been adopted because tourism operations are expected to become more numerous, and cumulative in effect, than other uses of the Planning Area.

 (3) The Authority intends that the only relevant permissions for tourism operations that may be granted in the Planning Area are those consistent with the provisions of this Plan. If a proposal is of the nature of a tourism operation requiring the written permission of the Authority or its delegate under the Zoning Plan and is not provided for in this Plan, then it may lead to a proposal to amend this Plan in accordance with section 39ZG of the Act.

 (4) Requirements and procedures for application, assessment and decisions and review of decisions
