42AL Amalgamation etc. of protected areas that are indigenous joint management
areas
(1) This section applies only to protected areas that are indigenous joint
management areas.
(2) The Governor in Council may, by regulation—
(a)
amalgamate protected areas of the same class, and assign a name to the
amalgamated area; or
(b) change the class of a protected area by dedicating
the area as another class of protected area; or
(c) change the boundaries of
a protected area.
(3) If, because of the change in the class of a protected
area, the area will be given less protection under this Act, the regulation
may be made—
(a) only with the consent of the indigenous landholder for the
land; and
(b) only if the Legislative Assembly has, on a motion of which at
least 28 days notice has been given, passed a resolution requesting the
Governor in Council to make the revocation.
(4) If, because of the change in
the boundaries of a protected area, land will be removed from the area (other
than for the purpose of dedicating the removed land as land with the same or a
higher level of protection under this Act), the regulation may be made only
if—
(a) the land to be removed has been surrendered to the State; and
(b)
the Legislative Assembly has, on a motion of which at least 28 days notice has
been given, passed a resolution requesting the Governor in Council to make the
revocation.
