Management Act 1998 where environmental authorisation is required prior to
commencement of that activity in specific identified geographical areas only
DEFINITIONS
2 In this Notice any word or expression to which a meaning has been assigned
in the Act shall have the meaning so assigned and unless the context
otherwise indicates-
bioregional plan means the bioreglonal plan contemplated in Chapter 3 of the
NEMBA
Hbuffer area means unless specifically defined an area extending 10 kilometres
from the proclaimed boundary of a world heritage site or national park and 5
kilometres from the proclaimed boundary of a nature reserve respectively or that
defined as such for a biosphere
