The new name, Narawntapu, uses Aboriginal language and better reflects the park's natural and cultural heritage. This is a straightforward administrative update with no changes to park boundaries, rules, or protections."},"summary":{"complexity_score":3,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"Based on the available information, the proclamation appears to have remained in force in its original form since 5 July 2000, with no evidence of significant scope change.
