Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This proclamation formally declares a set of named marine conservation areas under the Nature Conservation Act 2002 and attaches plan images that define their boundaries. It affects people and businesses who use or manage those waters (for example fishers, boat operators, tourism and adjacent landholders) by creating mapped zones where conservation rules apply and must be followed. The Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment is named as the administering agency.
