It creates the **Recherche Bay Nature Recreation Area** — a protected area of land where people can enjoy outdoor activities while the natural environment is conserved.\n\n**What it does:**\n- Establishes a specific protected area called \"Recherche Bay Nature Recreation Area\"\n- Sets out a **management plan** (Schedule 2) for how this area will be looked after and used\n- The area is classified as a \"Nature Recreation Area\" — meaning it's protected land that allows for recreational use (like bushwalking, camping, or boating) rather than being completely locked away\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Visitors to Recherche Bay in far south Tasmania\n- Land managers (the Department of Primary Industries and Water)\n- Anyone conducting commercial activities or research in the area\n- Traditional owners and the local community\n\n**Why it matters:**\nRecherche Bay is historically significant (site of early French scientific expeditions) and ecologically important. This proclamation balances conservation with public access, ensuring the area's unique values are protected while allowing people to enjoy it responsibly."},"summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"It is not possible to assess whether the scope changed from the original intent, as the operative provisions of the Proclamation were not included in the text provided.

Although the operative detail isn’t shown here, such proclamations typically create or change reserves or protected listings and therefore affect landowners, recreational users, developers and local councils by imposing new restrictions and legal obligations."},"issue_detection":{"absurdities":[],"contradictions":[]}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2007-080","history":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2007-080/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2007-080/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2007-080/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2007-080/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2007-080/documents"}}
