It formally creates the **Gordons Hill Nature Recreation Area**.\n\n**What it does:**\n- Declares three specific parcels of land (totalling about 9.2 hectares) as a protected \"Nature Recreation Area\"\n- The land is described as:\n  - **Lot 1**: ~2.647 hectares\n  - **Lot 2**: ~4.513 hectares  \n  - **Lot 3**: ~2.036 hectares\n- Includes a plan/map showing the exact boundaries (referenced as Schedule 2)\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Anyone who owns, uses, or wants to use this land near Gordons Hill\n- The Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service (which manages these areas)\n- Visitors to the area (who must follow nature recreation area rules)\n\n**Why it matters:**\nNature Recreation Areas are a specific type of protected land in Tasmania. They allow for **low-impact recreation** (like walking, nature study) while protecting natural and cultural values. This designation restricts certain activities (like development, mining, or intensive agriculture) that would be allowed on private land, but is less restrictive than a full national park.\n\nThis proclamation gives legal effect to the protection of this particular patch of Tasmanian bushland."},"issue_detection":{"absurdities":[],"contradictions":[]}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2012-011","history":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2012-011/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2012-011/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2012-011/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2012-011/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2012-011/documents"}}
