(2) The Environmental Review and Management Plan for the proposed mine is still under consideration and so no approval to mine has been given. Cable Sands has therefore not yet provided the $50,000 to the Department of Conservation and Land Management. (3) No. (4) The preparation of all management plans proceeds according to an annual schedule determined by a combination of priorities and resource availability. Priorities are decided by Government policy, the status of threats to natural values, pressures of use and other variable influences that might create synergies or other advantages for the prioritisation. The current listing places the Tuart Forest National Park fourth on the regional schedule, after St John's Brook, Preston-Noggerup and the Blackwood River suite of new national parks. (5) It is not possible to give a precise estimate of the time when the Tuart Forest National Park management plan might be completed as the complexities encountered when preparing any plan cannot be predicted with reliability.
