Regarding the references to reserves at pages 80-81 of the Department of Conservation and Land Management’s (CALM) 2005-2006 Annual Report, Key Performance Indicator one of the 2004-2013 Forest Management Plan (FMP), and the Environmental Protection Authority’s FMP mid-term audit of performance report, I ask -
(1) Which of the listed ID/Locality Names in Appendix 2 of the FMP were covered in the three Acts of Parliament assented to in November and December 2004 that established 36 new national parks and nature reserves, and 10 new conservation parks?
(2) Since 2004, after another six years of ‘using a systematic approach’ (CALM 2005-2006 Annual Report, page 80), which of the listed ID/Locality Names in Appendix 2 of the FMP, have had their land category changed as approved, and on what date?
(3) For those ID/Locality Names whose land category has not yet been changed, what is the proposed timeline for the formal change in land category, up to and including notification in the Government Gazette?

(1) 147 identifiers from Appendix 2 in the
Forest Management Plan 2004-2013
(FMP) were covered in the three Reserves Acts that were assented to in November and December 2004. These areas are shown in an annotated extract from Appendix 2 of the FMP. I table the attached document and seek leave to have it incorporated into Hansard.
(2) Four identifiers from Appendix 2 of the FMP were implemented between October 2005 and June 2010. These are IDs 2, 57, 149 and 152, and the details are also included in the tabled paper.
(3) Consultation on a further 83 identifiers from Appendix 2 is continuing.
In the interim, in accordance with Action 1.2 at page 24 of the FMP, areas that are proposed in Appendix 2 of the FMP to be converted to national park, nature reserve or conservation park will continue to be managed by DEC consistent with their proposed land category and purpose and relevant Departmental policies until such time as the reserves are formally created.
