This change was likely part of a broader reorganisation of marine parks—specifically the Commonwealth’s move toward new marine bioregional planning in 2007, where older, smaller reserves were often rolled into larger, updated marine park networks.\n\n**When it takes effect:**\nThe revocation becomes legally active 60 days after this document is officially registered on the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/environment-protection-and-biodiversity-conservation-act-1999-proclamation-revocation-tasmanian-seam","history":"/api/acts/environment-protection-and-biodiversity-conservation-act-1999-proclamation-revocation-tasmanian-seam/history","analysis":"/api/acts/environment-protection-and-biodiversity-conservation-act-1999-proclamation-revocation-tasmanian-seam/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/environment-protection-and-biodiversity-conservation-act-1999-proclamation-revocation-tasmanian-seam/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/environment-protection-and-biodiversity-conservation-act-1999-proclamation-revocation-tasmanian-seam/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/environment-protection-and-biodiversity-conservation-act-1999-proclamation-revocation-tasmanian-seam/documents"}}
