5.4.6 Public Reserves Act (NI)

Several areas of land within the KAVHA site are designated as public reserves and managed and
protected under the Public Reserves Act 1997 (NI) (Public Reserves Act). The areas are:

. Kingston Common;

° Kingston Recreation;

° Government House Grounds;
° Point Hunter;

° the cemetery; and

° the War Memorial.

The Public Reserves Act specifies that the reserves should be managed to:

° conserve the Island's natural environment and landscape beauty;
. conserve the natural and cultural heritage; and
° preserve the quality and way of life of the people of Norfolk Island.

Day-to-day management of the reserves is vested in the Conservator for Public Reserves. The
Conservator works within the Norfolk Island Reserves and Forestry Service. The Sexton (who is appointed
by the Norfolk Island administration and directed by the Conservator) is responsible for the day-to-day
management of the cemetery.

Individual reserves must have a Plan of Management which describes the natural and cultural values of

the reserves and sets out management issues, objectives, strategies and actions.'* Each of the reserves
within the KAVHA site has a Plan of Management. The management objectives cover pest species,
recreation, education, interpretation, stock and heritage values. Certain activities are regulated and
controlled within all public reserves through permits and approvals. Camping, vehicle usage and parking,
commercial activities and sand mining are examples of activities that are regulated.

A CMP has previously been accepted as the guiding document for the management of the reserves within
the KAVHA site. Where there was any inconsistency between the CMP and the Plans of Management, the
CMP was deemed to prevail. (This HMP will replace the CMP as the guiding document for the
management of the reserves within the KAVHA site.)
