If it has been modified in December 2024, it is no longer the original 2000 proclamation in any meaningful sense, yet it is presented under the original instrument number (sr-2000-122) and date.

It formally declares three new conservation areas:\n\n- **Hunter Island Conservation Area**\n- **Little Green Island Conservation Area**  \n- **Sister Islands Conservation Area**\n\n**What it does:**\n- **Creates protected areas**: These islands are now legally recognised as conservation areas, meaning they receive special protection under Tasmanian law.\n- **Sets out management plans**: Schedule 2 references plans for each area (shown as graphic images in the original document), which detail how each island will be managed and protected.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Anyone visiting, using, or conducting activities on these islands\n- The Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment (which administers the proclamation)\n- Future developers or land users who must now comply with conservation area restrictions\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis gives legal protection to these island ecosystems. Once proclaimed as conservation areas, activities on the islands become regulated—certain developments may be restricted, and conservation becomes the primary purpose of land management rather than other uses like commercial development or intensive recreation."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2000-122","history":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2000-122/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2000-122/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2000-122/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2000-122/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2000-122/documents"}}
