RESERVES (NATIONAL PARKS, CONSERVATION PARKS AND NATURE RESERVES) BILL 2004 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM The purpose of this Bill is to excise certain areas of land from State forest and timber reserves, to reserve land for the purposes of national parks, conservation parks and nature reserves, and to effect certain other changes to land. The Bill will create nine new national parks in Western Australia’s south-west forests, make significant additions to the existing Wellington National Park and implement a number of land category changes proposed in previous forest management plans which have been carried forward in the Forest Management Plan 2004-2013. All the reservation actions in this Bill are consistent with the Forest Management Plan 2004-2013. The creation of most of the proposed parks and reserves requires the cancellation of State forest and timber reserves created under the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984 (CALM Act) and/or Land Administration Act 1997 class A reserves. Under section 9 of the CALM Act, cancellations of State forest require a motion or Bill to be passed by Parliament. Cancellations of some class A reserves are required to be tabled in Parliament or be by way of an Act in the case of conservation parks or class A nature reserves. The most expedient way to effect the required action is through a single Bill. This Bill will cancel State forest, class A reserves, timber reserves and non class A reserves, close unwanted roads and create the final conservation reserves in one process. The reserves created will be vested in the Conservation Commission of Western Australia by virtue of section 7 of the CALM Act.

Class A reserve No. 39825 in the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale (Serpentine National Park) Class A reserve No. 39825 was created on 6 February 1987, extends south from Jarrahdale, and currently comprises an area of about 3,723.8799 hectares. The reserve is the larger of two reserves that collectively comprise Serpentine National Park. This clause provides for a net increase of about 260 hectares to Class A reserve 39825 so that the new total area of the reserve will comprise about 3,984 hectares. To that end, this clause provides (1) to (4) for the cancellation of existing reserves classified other than class A for the various purposes of conservation park, government requirements and conservation of flora and fauna totalling about 377.3037 hectares, and the redescription of the original area of the reserve. The expanded Serpentine National Park will comprise the area described in (4) as Cockburn Sound Locations 4548, 4549 and 4676 shown bordered green on Miscellaneous Plan 20613. These additions to Serpentine National Park were proposed in the Department of Conservation and Land Management’s Northern Region Regional Management Plan 1987 and were carried forward in the approved Forest Management Plan 1994-2003 and the Regional Forest Agreement for the South-West Forest Region of Western Australia (May 1999). The proposals have been carried forward in the approved Forest Management Plan 2004-2013. This Act honours a previous understanding that those Forest Management Plan proposals which fall within the Alcoa and Worsley Alumina State Agreement Act mining leases will not be created until issues related to the listing of areas on the Australian Heritage Commission Register of the National Estate that were not supported for reservation under the Regional Forest Agreement are removed from the Register. The Act allows for these reserves to be created by a date set by proclamation. Accordingly, this section will come into operation on a day to be fixed by proclamation.

[Note: The Greater Preston National Park as proposed in the policy and approved in the Forest Management Plan also includes an additional area of 1,292 hectares of former pastoral lease adjacent to the eastern boundary of the new national park subject of this clause. The additional area is subject to grazing rights that expire in 2015.

This Act honours a previous understanding that those Forest Management Plan proposals which fall within the Alcoa and Worsley Alumina State Agreement Act mining leases will not be created until issues related to the listing of areas on the Australian Heritage Commission Register of the National Estate that were not supported for reservation under the Regional Forest Agreement are removed from the Register. The Act allows for these reserves to be created by a date set by proclamation. Accordingly, this clause will come into operation on a day to be fixed by proclamation.
