It affects nearby landowners, businesses, visitors, researchers and conservation managers because activities like clearing, development or hunting may become restricted.

Without this proclamation, the areas would lack the formal legal status needed to enforce conservation rules. The Strzelecki National Park includes Tasmania's only mountains on an island, with unique ecosystems, while Wingaroo protects important coastal and wetland habitats."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2003-074","history":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2003-074/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2003-074/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2003-074/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2003-074/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2003-074/documents"}}
