21 .         Objection to declaration

                Where any person is aggrieved by the declaration of an Aboriginal site as a protected area he may make representations in writing to the Minister setting out the grounds upon which he is aggrieved and the Minister may, if he is satisfied that the complainant has shown reasonable cause why his interest in the matter should be taken into consideration, direct the Committee to consider the representations and report to him on them, and, if upon considering the representations, the report of the Committee, and any further information that the Minister may require the complainant or the Committee to provide, it appears to the Minister that it is in the general interest of the community to do so, he may recommend to the Governor that the declaration of the protected area be varied or revoked.
