activities

    * Section 358(2) that the Director only grant leases, subleases and licences of land in accordance with a management plan

    * Division 12.2 of the EPBC Regulations – provisions regulating a range of activities in the park.

Not all of the EPBC Regulations apply in Jabiru. Regulation 12.07 prescribes a number that do not apply. The Regulations that do apply in the town at the time of preparing this plan include:

         r.12.15 prohibits the use or introduction of a pesticide, herbicide or other poisonous substance, except reasonable use for a domestic purpose

         r.12.19 prohibits taking animals into Commonwealth reserves

         r.12.19A prohibits actions affecting non-native species

         r.12.19C prohibits actions affecting native species

         r.12.20 prohibits plants (other than food) being taken into or possessed in the park unless they are on a list established by the Director

         r.12.21 prohibits cultivating or propagating a plant unless it is a native plant included on a list established by the Director

         r.12.23A allows the Director to prohibit or restrict activities or types of activities in Commonwealth reserves

         r.12.37 prohibits the sale of liquor in the park.

At the time of preparing this plan the Director had delegated to certain officers of the West Arnhem Regional Council the powers and functions of the Director to issue permits for the purposes of r.12.19 to keep dogs in Jabiru, and to give directions under r.12.22 to remove plants being cultivated or propagated contrary to r.12.21.

An action (such as a new development) in Jabiru that is likely to have a significant impact on a matter protected by Part 3 of the EPBC Act (including Kakadu's World Heritage values, threatened species or the environment) will require assessment and approval under parts 7 and 9 of the Act.

            Notes: (a) The Policies in this Section need to be read in conjunction with the Policies and Actions in Section 8.2 (Jabiru).

             (b) The Policies in Section 10.13 (Bringing plants, animals and other materials into the park) apply to Jabiru.

Policies

This Policy does not apply to actions by the Northern Territory or West Arnhem Regional Council (or its successor) in accordance with Section 10.3.26.

     10.3.6          Subject to other policies in this Section, Policies in Section 8.2, and other relevant policies in this plan, land may be used and developed in Jabiru in accordance with the town lease(s) and a town plan approved by the Director.
