CONSERVATION AND LAND
MANAGEMENT AMENDMENT BILL 2021
299. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the minister representing the
Minister for Environment:
In relation to question without
notice 289 I submitted yesterday, 16 June, I refer to the minister's
answer yesterday concerning circumstances in
which the operators of extant commercial or recreational activities deemed
incompatible with Aboriginal culture
and heritage special purpose zones are prohibited from the continuation of that
activity, and how any subsequent commercial or recreational proposals in
those specific zones might be granted approval.
Will these operators be given an
opportunity to make reasonable operational amendments so that their activities
can transition in such a way as to be made consistent with the conservation
purpose of that specific zone/s?
