FORESTRY ACT 1950 - SECT 3

3—Forest reserves and native forest reserves

        (1)         The Governor may, by proclamation—

            (a)         declare any Crown lands to be a forest reserve; or

            (b)         for purposes relating to the conservation, development and management of land supporting native flora and fauna, declare a forest reserve, or part of a forest reserve, to be a native forest reserve; or

            (c)         assign a name to a forest reserve, or native forest reserve.

        (2)         A proclamation declaring a forest reserve or part of a forest reserve to be a native forest reserve must contain a statement of the purposes for which the native forest reserve is established.

        (3)         The Governor may, by subsequent proclamation, vary or revoke a proclamation under subsection (1).

        (4)         If, by virtue of a proclamation under this section, land that constitutes the whole or a part of a native forest reserve ceases to be such a reserve or to be within such a reserve, the Minister must cause a copy of the proclamation and a statement of the reasons for making the proclamation to be laid before both Houses of Parliament.

        (5)         A proclamation to which subsection (4) applies does not have effect—

            (a)         until fourteen sitting days of each House of Parliament have elapsed after a copy of the proclamation is laid before each House; and

            (b)         if, within those fourteen sitting days a motion for disallowance of the proclamation is moved in either House of Parliament—unless and until that motion is defeated or withdrawn, or lapses.

        (6)         Land that ceases to be native forest reserve does not, by reason only of that fact, cease to be forest reserve, but if land ceases to be forest reserve it will (if it was formerly native forest reserve) cease also to be native forest reserve.
