Conservation and Land Management Bill 1993

Legislation Committee (1989 - 2001)· 15 December 1993general_report

The WA Legislation Committee reviewed the Conservation and Land Management Bill 1993, focusing on amendments regarding timber sharefarming agreements and native plant species utilisation. Concerns arose about the Executive Director's powers and legal uncertainties. The committee recommended a review of Part 3 after a biodiversity taskforce report, adopting the Bill with ministerial guidance, and establishing a Select Committee on Biological Diversity.

Impact

Farmers, the Department of Conservation and Land Management, private companies entering commercial agreements, and potentially Aboriginal communities are affected. Clarifying the Executive Director's powers aims to avoid legal challenges to existing and future agreements.
