Public consultation
Under the Nature Conservation Act 1992, a management plan must be prepared, as soon as possible, after the dedication or declaration of a:
- national park
- conservation park
- resources reserve
- nature refuge
- coordinated conservation area
- wilderness area
- Indigenous joint management area.
A proposal to prepare a draft management plan must be advertised publicly. Landholders, local governments, interested groups and people—including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and members of the public—are all invited to have their say about the plan in the form of a submission. All properly made submissions are considered.
The draft plan must also be advertised, inviting the public to make more submissions, before it is finalised.
