National Parks and Wildlife (Savings and Transitional) Regulation 1997
under the

National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974

His Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974. PAM ALLEN, M.P., Minister for the Environment

Explanatory note
Section 47L of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 (the principal Act) sets out the procedure for the revocation, appropriation or resumption of state recreation areas. Proposed revocations, appropriations or resumptions must be notified in the Gazette and a copy tabled before Parliament. If Parliament does not disallow a proposal, the revocation, appropriation or resumption may proceed. Section 47L is to be repealed and replaced under Schedule 1 [23] to the National Parks and Wildlife Amendment Act 1996 (the amending Act). The new section requires any revocation, appropriation or resumption of state recreation areas after the commencement of the amending Act to be carried out by way of Act of Parliament. The object of this Regulation is to provide that the repeal and substitution of section 47L does not affect any proposed revocations, appropriations or resumptions where notice of the proposal was given before the commencement of the amending Act. This Regulation is made under clause 24 (savings and transitional regulations) of Schedule 3 to the principal Act as amended by the amending Act.
