Once declared, these areas are protected from development, mining, and most private land uses. The 'Plan Numbers' reference detailed survey maps that fix the exact boundaries—critical for resolving future boundary disputes."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The proclamation implements designations under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1970 by listing specific reserves and parks (Schedules 1–3) and recording areas and plan numbers; it does not itself expand or narrow the Act’s statutory scope but registers particular lands for administration by the named department (as stated in the instrument)."},"complexity_factors":["Form is a straightforward administrative proclamation that mainly lists named parcels with areas and plan numbers (Schedules 1–3).","No substantive regulatory rules, conditions, or procedural steps are included in the text — it is declaratory rather than prescriptive.","Legal effect depends on external references (the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1970, plan numbers, and Gazette notification) which must be consulted for operational detail.","Numerous individual entries increase clerical/administrative complexity (data accuracy, mapping to plan numbers) but not legal complexity.","Administration responsibility is specified (Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment), centralising executive discretion over management."],"plain_english_summary":"This proclamation under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1970 lists specific parcels of land and records them as nature reserves, state reserves, or national parks, giving each an approximate area and a plan number.
