the Explanatory Memorandum

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.
An explanation of the contents of the Bill on a clause by clause basis follows.

Class A reserve No. 40837 in the Shire of Manjimup (Mount Frankland
National Park)
The existing class A reserve No. 40837, Mount Frankland National Park, was created on
23 December 1998, is situated approximately 18 kilometres north of Walpole, and comprises an
area of about 30,830 hectares. This clause provides for the addition to Mount Frankland National
Park of 261.9920 hectares adjacent to its current northern boundary, so that the new total area of
the reserve will comprise about 31,092 hectares.
To that end, this clause provides (1) for the excision of areas totalling 261.9920 hectares from two
State forests. The expanded class A reserve No. 40837, Mount Frankland National Park, will
comprise the area described in (2) as the land in Nelson Locations 13309, 13310 and 13489 and
Hay Location 2365 as shown bordered red on Reserve Plans 297 and 298 and Plan 19163 on the
day this Act receives the Royal Assent.
This addition to Mount Frankland National Park was proposed in the approved Forest
Management Plan 1994-2003 and remained unchanged in the Regional Forest Agreement for the
South-West Forest Region of Western Australia (May 1999). The proposal has been carried
forward in the approved Forest Management Plan 2004-2013.

Clause 15.
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.

Class A reserve No. 46008 in the Shire of Beverley
This clause provides for the creation of a new class A conservation park, provisionally named
Russell Conservation Park, situated approximately 45 kilometres west of Beverley on the
Brookton Highway and comprising an area of about 3,358 hectares.
To that end, this clause provides (1) for the excision of about 3,358 hectares from a State forest
and a Crown reserve for the purpose of reservoirs, aqueducts, water courses and catchment area
that is classified as other than class A. The new conservation park will comprise this area,
described in (2) as the land in Avon Locations 29445 as shown bordered green on Miscellaneous
Plan 20625.
This conservation park was proposed in the Department of Conservation and Land Management’s
Northern Forest Region Regional Management Plan 1987 to comprise part of larger proposal for
Wandoo conservation park. This proposal was carried forward in the approved Forest
Management Plan 1994-2003 and decreased in size when part of the area was not retained in the
Regional Forest Agreement for the South-West Forest Region of Western Australia (May 1999).
Subsequent minor boundary changes have been made and the modified proposal has been
included 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 clause will come into operation on a day to be fixed by
proclamation.

Part 5 – Lane Poole Reserve
Clause 32.
Class A reserve No. 39827 in the Shires of Collie, Boddington, Waroona and
Harvey (Lane Poole Reserve)
The existing class A reserve No. 39827, Lane Poole Reserve, with a purpose of recreation and
enjoyment of the natural environment and the agreement as defined in the Alumina Refinery
Agreement Act 1961 section 2 was created on 6 February 1987, and is one of six Crown reserves
that collectively comprise Lane Poole Reserve. Class A reserve No. 39827 is situated
approximately six kilometres south of Dwellingup and extends southerly for about 34 kilometres,
generally straddling the Murray River. It comprises an area of about 12,353 hectares. This clause
provides for the addition to class A reserve No. 39827 of two areas, one of which currently
comprises a class A Crown reserve, and a second which was formerly freehold land held in the
name of the Executive Director of the Department of Conservation and Land Management and is
now unallocated Crown land, along with a redescription of the area of class A reserve No. 39827,
resulting in a net increase of 567 hectares to this reserve, so that the new total area of the reserve
will comprise about 12,920 hectares.
To that end, this clause provides (1) for the cancellation of a class A reserve which is managed by
the Executive Director of the Department of Conservation and Land Management for the purpose
of recreation and parklands; (2) and (3) for the closure of a portion of a road and the cessation of
rights of way over that portion of road; and (4) for the addition to class A reserve 39827 of the
cancelled reserve and portion of road, together with about 192 hectares of unallocated Crown land
and the redescription of the land comprising the reserve. The expanded class A reserve No.
39827, Lane Poole Reserve, will comprise the area described in (4) as the land in Murray
Location 2201 and Wellington Location 5962 as shown bordered green on Miscellaneous Plan
20337.
The additions to class A reserve No. 39827 were proposed in the Central Forest Region Regional
Management Plan 1987 and carried forward in the approved Forest Management Plan 1994-2003
and remained unchanged in 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 clause will come into operation on a day to be fixed by
proclamation.
