Once gazetted (published in the official government newspaper), these areas become legally protected. The detailed maps in Schedule 2 fix the exact boundaries — critical for resolving disputes about land use, development applications, or enforcement of environmental laws. The Meredith Range section is particularly detailed, specifying four separate lots totalling over 4,600 hectares with precise survey plan references."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"A positive credit balance is required for all requests, including BYOK, so fallback providers remain available.
