12Plan of management to be laid before Parliament

##### 12 Plan of management to be laid before Parliament (1) The Minister shall, as soon as practicable after a plan of management has been accepted under section 11, cause it to be laid before both Houses of the Parliament. (2) Either House of the Parliament, within 20 sitting days of that House after the plan of management has been laid before that House, may, in pursuance of a motion upon notice, pass a resolution disallowing the plan of management. (3) If neither House of the Parliament passes a resolution in accordance with subsection (2) disallowing the plan of management, the plan of management comes into operation on the day immediately following the last day upon which such a resolution could have been passed by either House. (4) If, before the expiration of 20 sitting days of a House of the Parliament after the plan of management has been laid before that House: (a) that House is dissolved or, being the House of Representatives, expires, or the Parliament is prorogued; and (b) a resolution for the disallowance of the plan of management has not been passed by that House; the plan of management shall, for the purposes of this section, be deemed to have been laid before that House on the first sitting day of that House after the dissolution, expiry or prorogation, as the case may be. (5) If either House of the Parliament passes a resolution in accordance with subsection (2) disallowing the plan of management, the Minister shall give to the Director a direction that a fresh plan of management be prepared and, where the Minister gives such a direction, a fresh plan of management shall be prepared in accordance with section 11. (6) As soon as practicable after a plan of management has come into operation, the Minister shall publish a notice in the Gazette and in such newspapers as he or she thinks fit, stating that the plan of management has come into operation, specifying an address or addresses where copies of the plan of management may be inspected or purchased and specifying the day (being a day not later than 10 years after the day on which the plan of management came into operation) on which the plan of management is to cease to have effect. (7) The plan of management shall, unless sooner revoked, cease to have effect on the day specified by the Minister in the notice published in the Gazette. (8) It is the duty of the Director, or of the Director and the Board, as the case requires, to ensure, so far as is practicable, that, on the day on which the plan of management in respect of a park or reserve ceases to have effect under subsection (7) or as soon as practicable thereafter, a new plan of management in respect of that park or reserve comes into operation. (9) Subsections 11(2A) to (22) (inclusive) and subsections (1) to (8) (inclusive) of this section apply in relation to the new plan of management in like manner as they apply in relation to a plan of management that is not a new plan of management.
