WILDERNESS ACT 1987 - SECT 9

9 Management principles for wilderness areas

A wilderness area shall be managed so as:

(a) to restore (if applicable) and to protect the unmodified state of the area and its plant and animal communities,

(b) to preserve the capacity of the area to evolve in the absence of significant human interference, and

(c) to permit opportunities for solitude and appropriate self-reliant recreation (whether of a commercial nature or not).
