Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This proclamation invokes the World Heritage Properties Conservation Act 1983 to declare a named archaeological site on the west bank of the Franklin River (given by coordinates) to be a property to which section 9 of the Act applies. The Governor‑General, on Federal Executive Council advice and satisfied the site was likely to be damaged or destroyed (s6(3)), made the declaration.

Mechanically, the declaration brings that single site within the Act’s section 9 legal regime and therefore subjects activities affecting the site to the Act’s federal controls and any consequent compliance obligations.
