CONSERVATION AND LAND MANAGEMENT AMENDMENT BILL
2021
234. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the minister representing the
Minister for Environment:
I refer to the implications that the creation of special
purpose zones—cultural protection—as contemplated by the
Conservation and Land Management Amendment Bill 2021 will have on pre-existing and
lawful commercial operations. Will any consideration be given to grandfathering
current commercial operations in affected marine parks or reserves; and, if
not, why not?

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.
The following answer is provided on behalf of the Minister for Environment.
Existing provisions in section 13D of the Conservation and
Land Management Act 1984 recognise the validity of existing authorisations
under the Fish Resources Management Act 1994 for commercial operations in
marine parks, marine nature reserves and marine management areas. These
provisions will not be affected by the passage of the Conservation and Land
Management Amendment Bill 2021. Current operations are considered in marine
reserve planning processes.
