It affects nearby landowners, residents, recreational users, businesses and management agencies by changing legal protections and restrictions on use, access, development and resource activities.\n\nThe summary here lacks the schedule of specific land and exact changes; the full proclamation text is needed to know the concrete impacts."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2017-014","history":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2017-014/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2017-014/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2017-014/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2017-014/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2017-014/documents"}}
