62U Minister may recommend Reservation Order be made

(1) On receiving a plan of the relevant land signed by the Surveyor-General, the Minister administering the Crown Land (Reserves) Act 1978 may recommend that the Governor in Council make a Reservation Order if that Minister—

(a) has consulted the Minister; and

(b) considers that the purpose for which the land is to be reserved by the Reservation Order will not provide less environmental protection for the land than the existing reservation; and

(c) has had regard to—

(i) the objects and functions of the Authority; and

(ii) if a Great Ocean Road strategic framework plan has been prepared, any parts of that plan that apply to the Great Ocean Road coast and parks.

(2) Without limiting subsection (1), the Minister administering the Crown Land (Reserves) Act 1978 may include as part of the recommendation a requirement that the relevant land be temporarily reserved land for a public purpose by the Reservation Order if satisfied on reasonable grounds that the original reservation proposed to be revoked is inconsistent with the historic use of the land.
