It has not expanded beyond this straightforward land reservation function."},"complexity_factors":["Extremely short document — essentially a list of declared areas with references to maps","No defined terms or interpretation section","No conditional logic, exceptions, or procedural requirements","Cross-references limited to the parent Act (National Parks and Wildlife Act 1970) and the Rules Publication Act 1953","Substantive content is contained in referenced graphic maps rather than text","Simple structure: two schedules listing areas and corresponding plans/maps"],"plain_english_summary":"This is a **Tasmanian proclamation** made under the *National Parks and Wildlife Act 1970* that formally creates six new protected areas on Flinders Island (part of Tasmania).\n\n**What it does:**\n- Declares four **Conservation Areas** (Jacksons Cove, Low Point, Mount Tanner) — these are protected zones focused on preserving natural and cultural values with limited public access\n- Declares three **Nature Recreation Areas** (Palana Beach, Killiecrankie, Emita, plus Mount Tanner is also listed as one) — these allow more recreational use like camping, fishing, and walking while still protecting the environment\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Visitors to Flinders Island who want to camp, fish, bushwalk, or explore these areas\n- Land managers (Parks and Wildlife Service) who now have formal authority to manage these sites\n- Traditional owners and local communities with interests in these lands\n\n**Why it matters:**\nWithout this proclamation, these areas had no formal legal protection. Now they have defined boundaries (shown in the attached maps), specific rules about what activities are allowed, and government oversight to prevent inappropriate development or damage. It balances conservation with tourism — letting people enjoy these coastal and bush areas while keeping them intact for future generations."},"summary":{"complexity_score":3,"scope_assessment":{"changed":true,"description":"The existence of a table of amending instruments confirms the proclamation has been amended at least once since its commencement on 25 December 2002, suggesting the original scope (likely the specific parcels of land or classes of protected area declared) has been modified over time.

It therefore changes those lands' legal status and subjects them to the Act’s management, access and use rules, administered by the Department of Tourism, Parks, Heritage and the Arts, rather than leaving their prior (unlisted) status in place."},"complexity_factors":["Legal reclassification of six discrete parcels under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1970 (administrative effect is straightforward).","Each parcel is tied to a separate plan (maps referenced as image files) meaning the precise boundary determinations rely on those plans rather than textual coordinates.","Differences in labelling between schedules (e.g. 'Mount Tanner Conservation Area' v. 'Mount Tanner Nature Recreation Area') create minor interpretive ambiguity.","Operational complexity from transferring management responsibilities and recurrent costs to the administering department (implementation and enforcement burdens).","Downstream interactions with permits, permitted activities and existing land users are governed by the Act and management rules, which can generate case‑by‑case complexity despite the simple proclamation.","Reliance on Gazette notification and published plans for legal effect increases the importance of accurate map publication and record-keeping."],"plain_english_summary":"This proclamation under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1970 formally declares six named parcels of land as Conservation Areas or Nature Recreation Areas and attaches mapped plans for each. It was notified in the Gazette on 25 December 2002. Mechanically, the proclamation changes the legal status of those parcels so the Act’s protections, management rules and permitted‑use restrictions apply. The Department of Tourism, Parks, Heritage and the Arts administers these areas, bearing management and enforcement costs while users face new access and permit rules under the Act."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2002-171","history":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2002-171/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2002-171/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2002-171/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2002-171/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2002-171/documents"}}
