Tasmania regulation
This order designates the area shown in Schedule 1 as a fossil site and takes effect on Gazette notification (ss 2–3). It is administered by the Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources.
The order changes the legal status of that land; it does not itself set permissions, fees or penalties, so who bears compliance costs or operational limits will depend on other laws and later administrative decisions. Affected parties include landowners, occupiers and mineral operators who may face altered access or development rules.
