1.34  Permissions for tourism operations—policy overview
 (1) This Plan limits the activities that can take place in the Planning Area and limits certain conversions between types of tourism operation, while allowing for growth in tourist visitation to the area and greater flexibility for most tourist programs.
 (2) The Authority intends that only relevant permissions that are consistent with this Plan will be granted by it for tourism operations in the Planning Area. Requirements and procedures for applications, assessments and decisions (including the review of decisions) for relevant permissions are set out in the Act, the Zoning Plan and the Regulations.

 (3) The Authority will not grant a new permission for a person to conduct a long range roving operation.
 (4) The Authority will not grant a relevant permission for a person to conduct a Bowen operation if the total number of permissions for Bowen operations in force is 10.
 (5) Subclauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) do not prevent the Authority from granting a permission described in any of those subclauses to allow temporary relocation under subclause 1.26(6) of a tourist program of which the tourism operation mentioned in subclause (1), (2), (3) or (4) forms part.
