The 2016 amendments (reflected in the legislative history) updated the park's name from 'Breakaways' to 'Kanku-Breakaways' and aligned the Board definition with new co-management regulations, but did not expand the regulatory scope beyond park management. The preamble and structure consistently maintain the tripartite co-management framework as the central organising principle."},"complexity_factors":["Moderate length (51 regulations plus preamble and schedule) but highly structured and repetitive","14 defined terms in interpretation section, including cross-references to external Acts (Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006, National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972)","Heavy reliance on 'permission of the Board' as the central regulatory mechanism—approximately 20 regulations require explicit Board permission, creating conditional logic throughout","Nested exceptions: multiple regulations contain subregulations (1) and (2) where (2) carves out exceptions for Aboriginal hunting rights, emergency situations, leaseholders, and statutory functions","Cross-reference to co-management agreement (external document not included in regulations) which constrains Board powers—regulations 19(4), 49(3) make Board actions invalid if inconsistent with this external agreement","Penalty structure with tiered expiation fees ($75, $150, $315, $5,000) and specific offence prescription in regulation 50 linking back to section 73A of the parent Act","Transitional provision preserving pre-existing licences and permissions under superseded regulations"],"plain_english_summary":"**What this legislation does:**\n\nThese regulations set the rules for visiting and using the **Kanku-Breakaways Conservation Park** in South Australia—a striking desert landscape near Coober Pedy traditionally owned by the **Antakirinja Matuntjara Yankunytjatjara people**.\n\n**Key points:**\n\n* **Who runs the park:** The park is \"co-managed\"—meaning decisions are made jointly by the traditional owners (the Antakirinja Matuntjara Yankunytjatjara people), the local District Council of Coober Pedy, and the South Australian Minister. A **co-management board** makes day-to-day decisions.\n\n* **Entry and fees:** Most visitors must pay an entry fee set by the Board. **Exception:** Traditional owners can enter free.\n\n* **What you need permission for:** Almost everything beyond basic walking around. You need Board permission to:\n  * Camp, light fires, or use generators\n  * Drive off designated roads or exceed speed limits\n  * Fly drones or aircraft, skydive, or use hang gliders\n  * Use metal detectors, chainsaws, or firearms\n  * Swim, dive, or sandboard\n  * Bring animals (except guide dogs on leads)\n  * Remove plants, rocks, fossils, or soil\n  * Film commercially, run tours, or hold events\n\n* **Special cultural protections:** The Board can close the park for cultural activities or when fire danger is extreme. Aboriginal people have specific rights to hunt using traditional methods (firearms and devices for taking animals) under the main Act.\n\n* **Enforcement:** Wardens can give directions, remove illegally parked vehicles, seize stray animals, and impound abandoned property. Fines range from $75 to $5,000 depending on the offence.\n\n**Why it matters:**\n\nThis legislation recognises **Native Title** (legal recognition of Indigenous people's traditional rights to land) and puts it into practice through genuine shared management. It balances conservation, public access, and Indigenous cultural authority—while keeping visitors safe in a remote, fragile desert environment."},"issue_detection":{"absurdities":[],"contradictions":[]}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/national-parks-and-wildlife-kanku-breakaways-conservation-park-regulations-2013","history":"/api/acts/national-parks-and-wildlife-kanku-breakaways-conservation-park-regulations-2013/history","analysis":"/api/acts/national-parks-and-wildlife-kanku-breakaways-conservation-park-regulations-2013/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/national-parks-and-wildlife-kanku-breakaways-conservation-park-regulations-2013/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/national-parks-and-wildlife-kanku-breakaways-conservation-park-regulations-2013/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/national-parks-and-wildlife-kanku-breakaways-conservation-park-regulations-2013/documents"}}
