Plain English Summary
3/10 complexity
This proclamation removes specific small parcels of land from several named conservation areas, a nature recreation area, a state reserve and a national park by referencing cadastral lots and plans in the Central Plan Register. It changes which parcels are legally part of those protected areas. The Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment administers the change; the immediate costs are administrative (updating registers and maps), and affected landowners, managers and regulators will face different land‑use rules for the parcels no longer within the protected areas.
This proclamation contains two schedules. Schedule 1 is labelled "Revocations" and identifies, by named protected area and by lot, discrete parcels of land that are the subject of the revocation exercise. Schedule 2 reproduces reduced copies of cadastral plans referred to in Schedule 1. The instrument was notified in the Gazette on 6 August 2003 and is administered by the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment, as stated in the text.
Mechanically, Schedule 1 lists eight Parts corresponding to named conservation or reserve areas: Arthur-Pieman Conservation Area (Part 1), Bay of Fires Conservation Area (Part 2), Musselroe Bay Conservation Area (Part 3), Port Sorell Conservation Area (Part 4), Recherche Bay Nature Recreation Area (Part 5), Rocky Cape National Park (Part 6), Surveyors Bay Conservation Area (Part 7), and Tesselated Pavement State Reserve (Part 8). For five Parts the schedule sets out the area of each lot in square metres and states that the lots are "bounded by heavy black lines on Plan [number] in the Central Plan Register" with a reduced copy in the corresponding Part of Schedule 2. Parts 2, 4 and 6 refer to their corresponding Part in Schedule 2 without repeating lot dimensions in the text. Examples: Schedule 1 Part 1 lists Lot 1 (about 789 square metres) through Lot 7 (about 1 591 square metres) and refers to Plan 6189; Part 3 lists three lots and refers to Plan 6191; Part 5 lists five lots and refers to Plan 6193; Part 7 lists twelve lots and refers to Plan 6195.
Schedule 2 provides the visual, reduced-copy representation of Plans 6189 through 6196, each reproduced as a graphic image with an associated file path (for example /image/cpr6189.gif for Plan 6189). The document explicitly states that the reduced copies are "by way of illustration only". The whole instrument is displayed and numbered in accordance with the Rules Publication Act 1953, and the Gazette notification date is provided.

The text therefore performs two concrete tasks: it enumerates specific land parcels for revocation by listing lot numbers, approximate areas and plan references (Schedule 1), and it supplies illustrative plan images corresponding to those plan references (Schedule 2). The document does not, within its published text, include operative definitions outside those lists, express effective dates other than the Gazette notice, specify any compensation or transfer mechanisms, or set out enforcement or transitional arrangements. Administration responsibility is attributed to the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment.
Main concepts
The instrument rests on a small set of concrete concepts that govern how the information is recorded and how a reader should treat the plans and descriptions.
Revocation as heading. The overarching label is "SCHEDULE 1 - Revocations". That identifies the schedule as dealing with revocations. The parts are titled by the relevant conservation area name (for example "Arthur-Pieman Conservation Area"). The text in each Part then lists the relevant parcels and a plan reference. The heading itself is the primary indication of legal operation; the body is the spatial specification.
Parcel identification by lot and area. Each parcel is described by lot number and an approximate area in square metres in the Parts where areas are given. Examples from the text: "about 789 square metres shown as Lot 1" and "about 4 705 square metres shown as Lot 5" in Schedule 1 Part 1; "about 3 187 square metres shown as Lot 1" in Part 3; and so on. The repeated use of "about" indicates the area figures are approximate rather than precise metric statements.
Plan references and the Central Plan Register. Each Part that identifies lots ties those lots to a named plan in the Central Plan Register, giving plan numbers 6189 through 6196 across the schedule. For the Parts that list lot sizes, the text states the lots are "bounded by heavy black lines on Plan [number] in the Central Plan Register", and that a "reduced copy of which is set out, by way of illustration only, in [Part X] of Schedule 2 to this proclamation". The Central Plan Register is therefore the authoritative repository referenced in the instrument for the graphical depictions of the parcels.
Reduced illustrative plans. Schedule 2 contains each Plan 6189 to 6196 as a reduced image, each linked using a graphic file path (for example /image/cpr6189.gif). The instrument states these are reduced copies "by way of illustration only", which signals that the reduced images are not intended to be definitive cadastral evidence where the Central Plan Register is available.
Display and gazette mechanics. The instrument includes two procedural markers. First, it is "Displayed and numbered in accordance with the Rules Publication Act 1953". Second, it was "Notified in the Gazette on 6 August 2003". These elements indicate the publication and display formalities associated with the proclamation.
Administration. The final line states "This proclamation is administered in the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment." That assigns administrative responsibility for the instrument to a named department.
Textual form and anomalies. The schedule alternates between parts that provide lot areas and parts that simply refer to the corresponding part of Schedule 2 without repeating lot data. There are a small number of textual irregularities in the reproduced text, for example a phrase in Part 7 stating "and show bounded by heavy black lines" that appears to be a minor drafting error. The instrument also repeats some headings and display lines; those are present in the published text.
Taken together, the main operative objects of the instrument are: (1) an enumerated list of specific lots sized in approximate square metres and tied to cadastral plan numbers; and (2) reduced plan images for visual reference. The text provides plan identifiers and a public notice mechanism but does not set out substantive statutory consequences, compensation, or ancillary rights and duties within the printed schedule itself.
Who it affects
The instrument names specific conservation areas and specific lots within those areas. The immediate, explicit effects in the text fall on the parcels listed and on the administrative infrastructure responsible for managing the proclamation.
Affected parcels and protected areas. The text identifies the following protected areas as the contexts for the revocations: Arthur-Pieman Conservation Area (Schedule 1 Part 1), Bay of Fires Conservation Area (Part 2), Musselroe Bay Conservation Area (Part 3), Port Sorell Conservation Area (Part 4), Recherche Bay Nature Recreation Area (Part 5), Rocky Cape National Park (Part 6), Surveyors Bay Conservation Area (Part 7), and Tesselated Pavement State Reserve (Part 8). Within those named areas, the schedule lists specific lots by lot number and approximate area: for example Schedule 1 Part 1 lists seven lots (Lot 1 about 789 square metres through Lot 7 about 1 591 square metres) and identifies Plan 6189 in the Central Plan Register as the bounding plan.
Landholders and title interests. The schedule does not name private owners, Crown title status, or any beneficiaries. The text therefore does not identify specific private parties by name. The direct effect is on the land described by lot and plan reference. Any person who holds an interest in a lot described in Schedule 1 would be the class of private party most directly affected, but the schedule itself does not record whether the lots are Crown land, privately owned, or otherwise encumbered. The document does not state whether any change of status affects existing interests, or whether any compensatory or transfer mechanism applies.
Administrative bodies and managers. The instrument attributes administration to the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment. That department is thereby the named entity responsible within the proclamation for administration. The schedule also invokes the Central Plan Register as the authoritative mapping registry for the bounding plans. Those two institutions are therefore directly implicated in any procedural follow up: the department for overall administration and the Central Plan Register for cadastral depiction.
Local government and land management stakeholders. The schedule does not expressly refer to local government, park managers, or other statutory agencies beyond the Department named. Nonetheless, any local managers, reserve rangers, or municipal planning authorities with operational roles in the named conservation areas would have an operational interest in the changes recorded, insofar as the schedule modifies the set of parcels that form part of each area. The text itself does not articulate consultation or roles for those entities.
Public and interested third parties. The Gazette notification and the display of reduced plans indicate the instrument is publicly published. Interested third parties such as surveyors, land title professionals, or researchers who rely on plan numbers in the Central Plan Register are identified implicitly as users of the instrument. The reduced plans are expressly "by way of illustration only", implying the Central Plan Register is the reference point for authoritative cadastral detail.
In short, the instrument expressly affects the parcels described, the Central Plan Register as the mapping repository, and the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment as administrator. It does not identify private owners, nor does it set out immediate rights or obligations for third parties outside these named institutional references.
Key duties and rights
The printed text of the proclamation contains minimal statements of duties or rights. It is principally a spatial specification document: enumerating lot numbers, approximate areas and plan references. The schedule does, however, create a narrow set of concrete administrative obligations by reference and implication.
No operative duty or right textually imposed. The schedule itself does not contain clauses that create standalone statutory duties or rights such as access rights, consent requirements, or compensation entitlements. It does not set out conditions for use, conditions for transfer, or binding transitional arrangements. Where the document sets forth the list of parcels, it does not add textual language that specifies rights of any particular party in relation to those parcels within the schedule.
Plan-recording obligation implied. The instrument links each described parcel to a Plan in the Central Plan Register and provides reduced copies in Schedule 2. By stating that the parcels are "bounded by heavy black lines on Plan [number] in the Central Plan Register", the proclamation requires that the Plan in the Central Plan Register correspond to the description given. That creates a concrete mapping obligation: the authoritative depiction of boundaries is to be located using the Central Plan Register plan numbers (for example Plans 6189, 6190, 6191, 6192, 6193, 6194, 6195, 6196). Practically this requires any implementer or user of the proclamation to consult the Central Plan Register to ascertain precise boundaries rather than relying on the reduced images, which the instrument calls "by way of illustration only".
Administrative duty to the administering department. The proclamation states that it is "administered in the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment". That textual allocation of administration implies a duty on that Department to carry out whatever administrative tasks are required to implement the proclamation. The schedule does not set out the content of those tasks. The Department would therefore be the point of contact for any action or clarification arising from the schedule.
Publication obligation satisfied. The instrument records compliance with publication formalities: it is "Displayed and numbered in accordance with the Rules Publication Act 1953" and was "Notified in the Gazette on 6 August 2003". The presence of those statements indicates that the public notification steps required by the Rules Publication Act 1953 (or related administrative rules) have been followed as part of the proclamation's process. The schedule itself does not textually delineate further procedural steps that readers must take.
Reliance and evidentiary limits. By explicitly describing the reduced plans in Schedule 2 as "by way of illustration only", the proclamation places a limit on any duty to rely on the reproductions in Schedule 2 as definitive. The implication is that there is a duty on users to rely on the Central Plan Register plan for legal or cadastral precision.
Summary. The schedule imposes a narrow set of obligations: consult and rely on the Central Plan Register plans named in the schedule for boundaries; accept the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment as the administering agency for this proclamation; and rely on the Gazette publication and display formalities recorded in the instrument. It does not itself create or specify other duties or rights such as statutory compensation, statutory enforcement regimes, or third-party rights.
Penalties and enforcement
The published proclamation does not contain any penalty clauses or express enforcement mechanisms. The text is limited to spatial descriptions and plan reproductions and does not set out offences, sanctions, compliance inspections, or enforcement powers.
No penalties in the schedule. There is no provision in Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 that prescribes civil penalties, criminal offences, administrative fines, or remedial powers linked to non-compliance with any requirement stated in the schedule. The parts list parcels and refer readers to plan numbers; they do not create enforceable prohibitions or sanction regimes within the printed text.
Enforcement not specified. The instrument does not identify an enforcement body or an enforcement process. The only administrative attribution is that the proclamation "is administered in the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment." The schedule does not convert that administration allocation into specified enforcement powers for the Department in the text presented.
Interaction with external enforcement regimes left open. Because the proclamation does not itself set out enforcement methods, any enforcement linked to the revocations or to the land parcels will need to be located in the external statutory framework governing the relevant conservation areas or land tenure. The instrument does not cite those statutes in the printed text. Users seeking to determine potential penalties for conduct affecting the parcels would need to consult the conservation, planning, land or Crown land statutes that create offences and enforcement pathways for the relevant area. That consultation is not provided for in the proclamation itself.
Publication and public record as a legal step. The Gazette notification and display requirements are recorded in the instrument, which deals with publication formalities under the Rules Publication Act 1953. Failure to publish an instrument required to be published under that Act could have procedural consequences under the Rules Publication Act, but the schedule itself does not elaborate those consequences. The text merely records the completion of publication and display steps.
Practical effect. For practical purposes, the schedule is a cadastral-level identification instrument. Any question about penalties for contravening activities or about enforcement authority will have to be resolved by reference to the relevant conservation or land tenure legislation and to the Department named as administrator. That material is not contained in the schedule.
How it interacts with other laws
The proclamation explicitly engages with a small set of external legal or administrative frameworks by reference. The text otherwise does not incorporate or reference substantive conservation or land statutes within the printed schedule.
Reference to the Central Plan Register. Each Part that lists lots ties the parcels to a Plan in the Central Plan Register (for example Plan 6189, 6190, 6191, 6192, 6193, 6194, 6195, 6196). That creates an interaction with the cadastral and plan-recording regime that the Central Plan Register embodies. The authoritative depiction of parcel boundaries, for legal and administrative purposes, will be located via those plan entries in the Central Plan Register rather than the reduced images in Schedule 2, because Schedule 2 expressly describes its reproductions as "by way of illustration only".
Publication requirements under the Rules Publication Act 1953. The instrument states it is "Displayed and numbered in accordance with the Rules Publication Act 1953". That is an explicit procedural link to the Rules Publication Act and indicates the proclamation has been processed for display and numbering under that Act. The Gazette notification line, "Notified in the Gazette on 6 August 2003", is part of the publication machinery required for the instrument to be publicly available. The proclamation therefore sits within the statutory routes for promulgation and public notice governed by the Rules Publication Act.
Administrative interface with the Department. The final line, "This proclamation is administered in the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment", creates an administrative interface between the proclamation and the department's statutory functions. The schedule itself does not state the enabling Act under which the department administers this instrument, nor does it specify the statutory duties given to the department; those must be located in the enabling legislation or departmental administration instruments elsewhere.
No direct cross-references to enabling conservation statutes. The schedule does not cite or quote the statute that enables the revocations or the conservation area designations. The text therefore does not itself set out how the revocations alter statutory conservation area boundaries under any specific Act. Users will need to consult the relevant conservation, park or land management statutes (not provided in the text) to see how a proclamation of this form effects changes under those regimes.
No statutory compensation, tenure, or conveyancing provisions in the text. The proclamation contains no cross-reference to land title legislation, conveyancing processes, or compensation mechanisms. If any property or tenure implications arise from the revocations, those implications would have to be sought in other statutory instruments or Acts that govern the transfer of land or alteration of protected area boundaries. Those cross-references are not present in the schedule.
Interaction summary. The explicit interactions in the text are with the Central Plan Register for boundary depiction, with the Rules Publication Act 1953 for display and numbering, the Gazette for public notification, and with the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment for administration. Substantive interactions with conservation statutes, land title law, or compensation regimes are not set out in the schedule itself and must be found in other instruments or legislation.
Amendment history
The publication contains only limited historical metadata and does not record any amendments to the schedule.
Gazette notification date. The only date recorded in the text is that the proclamation was "Notified in the Gazette on 6 August 2003". That is the instrument's publication date in the Government Gazette and serves as the documentary timestamp present in the text.
No recorded amendments in the schedule. The printed material does not list any later amendment enactments, nor does it contain a section that records amendments, repeals or subsequent variations. The schedule as reproduced is therefore a single historical snapshot, as of the Gazette date, with no amendment history contained in the instrument itself.
Display and numbering compliance statement. The document states it was "Displayed and numbered in accordance with the Rules Publication Act 1953", which is a procedural note rather than an amendment record. It indicates the instrument was processed under the Rules Publication Act at the time of display, but it does not record any later administrative changes.
Administration line without chronological amendment detail. The instrument ends with "This proclamation is administered in the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment." There is no indication of any administrative change after the initial administration allocation, nor is there a record of any transfer of administration or departmental name change in the text.
Plans as contemporaneous records. Schedule 2 reproduces reduced copies of Plans 6189 to 6196. Those images are presented as reduced, illustrative copies. The schedule does not state whether the Central Plan Register plans themselves have been updated later or whether the reproduced reduced copies reflect any subsequent adjustments. Any amendment history to the cadastral plans in the Central Plan Register would need to be inspected in that register itself; the schedule does not contain such historical metadata.
Practical effect for users. If a practitioner needs to establish whether the revocations listed remain in force, or whether they have been amended, repealed or superseded, the schedule does not provide that record. The Gazette notification date is the only chronological marker in the text. Further research in the Gazette, departmental records, the Central Plan Register, and the enabling conservation or land legislation would be required to assemble a complete amendment history. That material is not included in the proclamation itself.
Litigation history
The printed proclamation contains no record of litigation, judicial consideration, or legal proceedings referring to the schedule. There are no case citations, no references to adjudicated disputes, and no mention of any court decisions within the text.
Absence of recorded cases in the instrument. The schedule does not name any litigation, does not cite any judicial decisions, and does not state that the schedule has been the subject of challenge. The document is therefore silent on litigation history.
Implication for research. For a researcher or practitioner seeking litigation history related to these revocations or the parcels concerned, the schedule does not provide such information. A search of court decisions, tribunal determinations, or administrative reviews would be required to ascertain whether any party has challenged the revocations or the associated administrative actions, but such searches must be conducted outside the text of the proclamation.
Administrative dispute resolution not set out. The document does not identify any administrative processes for review, appeal or dispute resolution. If disputes have arisen, they would have been resolved under other statutory processes or in court, but the schedule contains no details.
Consequence of silence. The lack of litigation history recorded in the proclamation does not mean no litigation has occurred; it only means the proclamation itself does not document any. Practitioners should treat the instrument as a primary source of spatial specification and seek external materials for litigation or dispute history.
Gotchas
The proclamation presents a number of practical features and small textual quirks that can affect how one uses it. These are concrete points to note when relying on the instrument.
Reduced plans are illustrative only. Schedule 2 repeatedly states that the reduced copies of the Central Plan Register plans are "by way of illustration only". Users must therefore not treat the images in Schedule 2 as authoritative cadastral records. The authoritative graphical records are the Plans in the Central Plan Register referenced by plan number in Schedule 1. Relying solely on the reduced images risks inaccuracy, especially for boundary details.
Approximate areas. In Schedule 1, each lot area is prefaced with the word "about" (for example "about 3 187 square metres shown as Lot 1"). That language makes the area figures approximate rather than precise. For conveyancing, compensation or planning purposes, those approximations may not be sufficiently precise; a practitioner should therefore treat the area figures as indicative pending verification in the Central Plan Register or by survey.
Plan numbering is the key locator. The text depends on Plan numbers 6189 through 6196. If an implementer reads the schedule without checking the Central Plan Register, they may miss that the detailed boundaries and possibly plan notes are in that register. The plan numbers are the functional keys to the cadastral data.
Textual anomalies and minor drafting errors. The reproduced text contains minor drafting irregularities. For example, Schedule 1 Part 7 (Surveyors Bay Conservation Area) includes the phrase "and show bounded by heavy black lines on Plan 6195", where the word "show" may be a drafting anomaly. The document also duplicates some headings and lines in a way that suggests the published text may contain formatting artifacts. Practitioners should therefore consult the original Gazette version and the Central Plan Register to avoid misreading.
No effective date other than Gazette notice. The instrument records the Gazette notification date. The schedule itself does not specify an operative commencement clause such as "this proclamation takes effect on" or transitional arrangements. Where the practical timing of effect matters (for example if rights, obligations or applications depend on a commencement date), the Gazette entry and any enabling legislation should be checked for commencement provisions. The proclamation does not elsewhere provide that information.
No owner or tenure information. The schedule identifies lots and areas but does not state whether each lot is Crown land, privately owned, occupied, or subject to easements or encumbrances. Users assuming particular tenure or ownership should verify title records.
Files and image paths are provided. Schedule 2 lists graphic image paths such as /image/cpr6189.gif. These may be useful to locate the reduced-plan images in the public registry or website, but serviceability of those file paths depends on the administrative systems in place at the time of retrieval.
Administrative responsibility but no procedure. The text states administration is in the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment. However the schedule does not set out the procedural steps the Department should take to implement revocation consequences, consult stakeholders, or update records. Practitioners should not assume that any particular administrative action has been taken unless they verify with the Department.
Summary of gotchas. The principal practical cautions are: rely on the Central Plan Register not on reduced images; treat area figures as approximate; verify tenure and ownership separately; note the lack of explicit commencement and enforcement provisions in the schedule itself; and confirm any administrative steps or amendments with the administering Department and the Central Plan Register.
How to comply
The proclamation is primarily a descriptive instrument. Compliance in this context means taking the necessary steps to ensure that records, land administration systems and affected parties are aligned with the schedule's descriptions. The schedule itself imposes no additional duties beyond those implicit in publication and administration, but the following steps follow directly from the text and its functional requirements.
Consult the Central Plan Register plans cited in Schedule 1. The schedule ties each listed lot to a Plan number in the Central Plan Register (Plans 6189 to 6196). To confirm precise boundaries and any plan annotations, open the Central Plan Register entries for those plan numbers. The reduced images in Schedule 2 are expressly "by way of illustration only", so authoritative cadastral detail must be taken from the Central Plan Register plans referenced in Schedule 1.
Verify lot areas and lot numbers. The schedule lists approximate areas using "about". If exact areas are required for title, conveyancing, valuation or compensation purposes, obtain the certified survey plan or title particulars associated with the lot in the Central Plan Register or the land titles office rather than relying on the "about" figures in Schedule 1.
Check the Gazette notice. The proclamation records that it was "Notified in the Gazette on 6 August 2003". For any matters where timing is relevant, obtain the Gazette entry of that date to confirm the proclamation text as published and to check whether the Gazette entry includes a commencement clause or other contextual information not reproduced within the schedule itself.
Notify or consult the administering Department. The instrument is "administered in the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment". For procedural matters, clarifications, or to confirm any operational actions taken to implement the revocations, communicate with the Department. The Department is the named administrative contact in the proclamation.
Update cadastral and land records where appropriate. If an institution (for example a land registry, local government, park manager or departmental registry) must reflect the changes, use the Plan numbers and lot identifiers provided to update cadastral layers and recordkeeping. Do so on the basis of the authoritative plans in the Central Plan Register rather than the illustrative Schedule 2 images.
Confirm tenure and encumbrances separately. The schedule does not record ownership or encumbrances. If the revocation has potential tenure consequences, check land title records, Crown land registers and any relevant conservation area registers to establish whether the lots are Crown land, privately owned, leased, or subject to easements or other interests.
Consider whether other statutory approvals are required. The proclamation does not itself specify the enabling legislation or whether subsequent steps (for example approvals, transfers, or compensation processes under other Acts) are necessary. Practitioners should therefore identify the enabling conservation or land statute and inspect that Act to determine whether further procedural steps are required to effect any administrative changes signalled by the revocation. The schedule does not contain those statutory references, so this step requires external statutory research.
Where precision matters, obtain survey certification. If boundary accuracy is material to compliance (for example in development, access licensing, or dispute resolution), obtain current certified survey plans and, if necessary, field surveys that align with the Central Plan Register plans. The approximate area figures in the schedule should not be used as the sole basis for precision-critical decisions.
Archive and document reliance. When relying on the proclamation for administrative or legal purposes, record the source: Schedule 1 Part number, lot numbers, Plan number from the Central Plan Register, Schedule 2 reduced-image file name if used for illustration, Gazette notification date (6 August 2003), and the Department administering the proclamation. That documentation will assist in any future audit or review.
Seek administrative clarification where uncertainty exists. For ambiguities in the proclamation text,for example minor drafting oddities such as the phrase "and show bounded by heavy black lines",seek confirmation from the administering Department or inspect the Gazetted instrument as published to ensure no transcription errors alter meaning.
These compliance steps are constrained by what the proclamation itself provides: plan numbers, lot identifications, reduced illustrative images, a Gazette date, and an administering Department. The schedule does not itself provide commencement or enforcement details, ownership data or statutory cross-references that would otherwise guide compliance. Users should therefore treat the instrument as a spatial identification document and carry out the additional verifications listed above before acting on the basis of the schedule.
