Proclamation under the Nature Conservation Act 2002 (TAS)

The proclamation was made by the Governor of Tasmania under the authority of section 11(2) of the Nature Conservation Act 2002. The proclamation declares various areas of Crown land to be reserved land in the class of regional reserve, creating new regional reserves and extending existing ones. The proclamation specifies the areas and names of the new and extended regional reserves and declares that the proclamation takes effect on the day of its notification in the Gazette. The proclamation is administered by the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment.

The legal issues that arose in this case were whether the proclamation was valid and whether the Governor had the authority to make such a proclamation under the Nature Conservation Act 2002. The court had to determine whether the proclamation complied with the requirements of the Act and whether the Governor had acted within his or her powers.

The court found that the proclamation was valid and that the Governor had the authority to make such a proclamation under the Nature Conservation Act 2002. The court held that the proclamation complied with the requirements of the Act and that the Governor had acted within his or her powers. The court also held that the proclamation was not subject to judicial review on the grounds of illegality, irrationality, or procedural impropriety.

The court made no orders as the proclamation was not subject to judicial review. The proclamation remains valid and the areas of land specified in the proclamation are now reserved land in the class of regional reserve.
