This proclamation permanently reserves these lands from development, mining, and other intensive uses. The detailed maps in Schedule 2 show the exact boundaries—critical for landowners, developers, and bushwalkers to know where restrictions apply.\n\nThe Prosser River area specifically notes three separate land parcels totaling roughly 25 hectares, suggesting this may involve specific land acquisitions or transfers."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"Unauthenticated.
