RESERVES (NATIONAL PARKS, CONSERVATION PARKS AND OTHER RESERVES) BILL 2004
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The purpose of this Bill is to excise certain areas of land from State forest and timber reserves and other reserves; to cancel the purpose of timber reserves and to cancel other reserves; to reserve land for the purpose of national parks, conservation parks, a nature reserve and another reserve; and to effect certain other changes to land.
The Bill will create ten new national parks, two new conservation parks, a new nature reserve and a new Conservation and Land Management Act 1984 (CALM Act) section 5(1)(h) reserve, and make additions to the existing Mount Frankland National Park, in Western Australia’s south-west forests.
The creation of most of the proposed parks and reserves requires the cancellation of State forest and timber reserves created under the CALM Act and a Land Administration Act 1997 (LA Act) class A reserve.
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 national parks.
The most expedient way to effect the required action is through a single Bill.
This Bill will cancel State forest, a class A reserve, timber reserves and non class A reserves, close unwanted roads and create the final conservation reserves in one process. The reserves created under clauses 7 to 20 inclusive will be vested in the Conservation Commission of Western Australia by virtue of section 7 of the CALM Act. The reserve created under clause 21 will be placed under the care, control and management of the Conservation Commission (section 7 of the CALM Act does not apply to the category of the reserve being created under that clause).
An explanation of the contents of the Bill on a clause by clause basis follows.

This national park was proposed in Department of Conservation and Land Management’s Southern Forest Region Regional Management Plan 1987 and was carried forward in the approved Forest Management Plan 1994-2003. The proposal was expanded under the Regional Forest Agreement for the South-West Forest Region of Western Australia (May 1999), and the bulk of the originally proposal national park was modified to be classified in the interim as a forest conservation area. The proposal was further expanded under the Protecting our old-growth forests policy and it was also modified to remove the interim forest conservation area classification. The national park is a reserve proposal in the approved Forest Management Plan 2004-2013
Mount Lindesay National Park forms part of the Walpole Wilderness Area and abuts Mount Roe National Park, which is the subject of clause 15 in this Bill.

Clause 9. Class A reserve No. 47885 in the Shires of Bridgetown-Greenbushes, Donnybrook-Balingup and Nannup
This clause provides for the creation of a new class A national park, provisionally named Dalgarup National Park, situated approximately 12 kilometres west of Bridgetown and comprising an area of about 2,377 hectares.
To that end, this clause provides (1) for the excision of 2,374 hectares from State forest; and (2) and (3) for the closure of a portion of an unnamed redundant road reserve and the cessation of rights of way over that portion of road reserve. The new national park will comprise these areas, described in (4) as the land in Lot 300 as shown coloured green on Deposited Plan 36444, on the day this Act receives the Royal Assent.
This national park was proposed as an outcome of the Government’s high conservation value assessment of specified forest blocks and additional areas throughout the south-west forests (that were not already proposed for addition to the formal conservation reserve system) against specific criteria. Dalgarup National Park is a reserve proposal in the approved Forest Management Plan 2004-2013. The national park being created in this clause varies from the proposal as shown in the Forest Management Plan 2004-2013 by the exclusion of an area on the western boundary, which is to be retained as State forest to allow for the potential development in the short to medium term of a reservoir and dam on Gregory Brook, subject to the normal environmental approvals, to supplement existing water supplies in the Bridgetown region and service the additional towns of Greenbushes, Balingup, Mullalyup and Kirup.

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. Clause 14 of the Reserves (National Parks, Conservation Parks and Nature Reserves) Bill 2004 that was introduced to Parliament on 23 June 2004 provides for the addition to Mount Frankland National Park of 261.9920 hectares adjacent to its current northern boundary.
This clause provides for the addition of further areas totalling about 6,267 hectares adjacent the national park’s northern and western boundaries.
To that end, this clause provides (1) for the excision of areas totalling about 6,267 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 Deposited Plans 240296, 240297 and 219163, and the land in Lots 310, 311 and 312 as shown coloured green on Deposited Plan 43042.
This clause cannot come into operation until clause 14 of the Reserves (National Parks, Conservation Parks and Nature Reserves) Bill 2004 has been enacted. Accordingly, this clause comes into operation on a day to be fixed by proclamation.
These additions to Mount Frankland National Park were proposed in the Protecting our old- growth forests policy and are proposals in the approved Forest Management Plan 2004-2013.

Clause 12. Class A reserve No. 47887 in the Shires of Busselton and Augusta-Margaret River
This clause provides for the creation of a new class A national park, provisionally named Whicher National Park, situated approximately 18 kilometres south-east of Busselton and comprising an area of about 6,343 hectares.
To that end, this clause provides (1) for the excision an area of about 6,330 hectares from State forest; and (2) and (3) for the closure of portions of unnamed redundant road reserves that do not contain constructed roads and the cessation of rights of way over these portions of road reserves. The new national park will comprise these areas, described in (4) as the land in Lot 301 as shown coloured green on Deposited Plan 43036, on the day this Act receives the Royal Assent, and will (5) be limited to a depth of 200 metres from the natural surface of that land in recognition of the gas resource potential of the area.
The area in this national park was originally proposed to become a nature reserve in the Department of Conservation and Land Management’s Central Forest Region Regional Management Plan 1987, a proposal that was carried forward in the approved Forest Management Plan 1994-2003. The area covered by the proposal was decreased under the Regional Forest Agreement for the South-West Forest Region of Western Australia (May 1999), when an eastern portion was excluded. The eastern area was subsequently reinstated under the Protecting our old- growth forests policy, and the proposed land category for the entire original proposal was modified from nature reserve to national park. The national park being created in this clause is a reserve proposal in the approved Forest Management Plan 2004-2013.

Clause 13. Class A reserve 47886 in the Shires of Manjimup and Cranbrook
This clause provides for the creation of a new class A national park, provisionally named Lake Muir National Park, situated approximately 20 kilometres west of Rocky Gully and comprising an area of about 9,625 hectares.
To that end, this clause provides (1) for the excision of an area of about 9,611 hectares from State forest; and (2) to (4) for the closure of portions of unnamed redundant road reserves that do not contain constructed roads and the cessation of rights of way over these portions of road reserves.

The proposal for these areas has been modified to retain Lake Muir Nature Reserve as a nature reserve, and the area of State forest that links the two sections of Lake Muir Nature Reserve is now proposed be added to that nature reserve to consolidate its boundaries, rather than to the national park.]
Lake Muir National Park abuts Mount Frankland North and Mount Roe National Parks, which are the subjects of clauses 10 and 15 respectively in this Bill.

Clause 15. Class A reserve 47890 in the Shires of Denmark, Manjimup and Plantagenet
This clause provides for the creation of a new class A national park, provisionally named Mount Roe National Park, situated approximately 25 kilometres north-west of Denmark, and comprising an area of about 127,726 hectares.
To that end, this clause provides (1) for the excision of areas totalling about 40,347 hectares from four State forests; (2) for the cancellation of an unmanaged Crown reserve having the purpose of timber; (3) for the cancellation of an unnamed Crown reserve comprising an area of 1,127.9484 hectares that is vested in the Conservation Commission of Western Australia for the purpose of conservation of flora and fauna; (4) for the excision of areas from a Crown reserve having the purpose of water catchment area - Denmark River that is managed by the Water and Rivers Commission; (5) for the excision of areas from an unmanaged Crown reserve having the purpose of Kent River water catchment area; (6) for the cancellation of an unmanaged Crown reserve having the purpose of gravel; (7) for the cancellation of a Crown reserve having the purpose of water supply that is managed by the Water and Rivers Commission; (8) for the cancellation of an unnamed Crown reserve comprising an area of about 16,039 hectares that is vested in the Conservation Commission of Western Australia for the purpose of national park; and (9) to (12) for the closure of portions of named and unnamed redundant road reserves that do not contain constructed roads and the cessation of rights of way over these portions of road reserves. The new national park will comprise these areas, described in (13) as the land in Lot 340 as shown coloured green on Deposited Plan 36449, on the day this Act receives the Royal Assent.
Part of the area in this new national park was originally proposed in the approved Forest Management Plan 1994-2003 to become a conservation reserve under (the former) section 5(g) of the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984. This proposal was modified under the Regional Forest Agreement for the South-West Forest Region of Western Australia (May 1999), resulting in the original area and additional adjacent areas being proposed as a national park, with parts of the area being proposed for classification in the interim as forest conservation areas. These proposals were subsequently modified under the Protecting our old-growth forests policy to remove the interim forest conservation area classification, and the national parks is a proposal in the approved Forest Management Plan 2004-2013.
Mount Roe National Park forms part of the Walpole Wilderness Area and abuts Mount Lindesay, Mount Frankland South, Mount Frankland North and Lake Muir National Parks, which are the subjects of clauses 7, 8, 10 and 13 respectively in this Bill.

This clause provides for the creation of a new class A national park, provisionally named Easter National Park, situated approximately 16 kilometres south of Nannup and comprising an area of about 2,985 hectares.
To that end, this clause provides (1) for the excision of areas totalling about 2,981 hectares from two State forests; and (2) to (4) for the closure of portions of named redundant road reserves, the bulk of which do not contain constructed roads, and the cessation of rights of way over these portions of road reserves [Note: One portion of redundant road reserve being cancelled contains a section of formed road, but only the road reserve is being cancelled, and the portion of Iffley Road within this redundant survey will continue to be used for management purposes]. The new national park will comprise these areas, described in (5) as the land in Lots 3010 and 3011 as shown coloured green on Deposited Plan 36433, on the day this Act receives the Royal Assent.
This national park was proposed in the Protecting our old-growth forests policy. It incorporates the area that was originally proposed in the Department of Conservation and Land Management’s Southern Forest Region Regional Management Plan 1987 to comprise the Dickson Nature Reserve. The proposed nature reserve was expanded under the Regional Forest Agreement for the South-West Forest Region of Western Australia (May 1999), which also proposed that the area be classified in the interim as a forest conservation area. The national park is a reserve proposal in the approved Forest Management Plan 2004-2013.

This clause provides for the creation of a new class A nature reserve for the purpose of conservation of flora and fauna, provisionally named Tone-Perup Nature Reserve, situated approximately 35 kilometres east of Manjimup and comprising an area of about 55,935 hectares.
To that end, this clause (1) defines the term “relevant easement” and provides (2) for the excision of areas totalling about 45,444 hectares from three State forests; (3) for the cancellation of four timber reserves that were created under the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984 with areas totalling about 9,094 hectares; (4) for the cancellation of an unmanaged Crown reserve having the purpose of gravel; (5) for the cancellation of an unmanaged Crown reserve having the purpose of water; (6) for the cancellation of a Crown reserve comprising an area of 42.4920 hectares that is named Mordalup Nature Reserve and is vested in the Conservation Commission of Western Australia for the purpose of conservation of flora and fauna; (7) for the cancellation of an unmanaged Crown reserve having the purpose of government requirements; (8) for the cancellation of an unnamed Crown reserve comprising an area of 149.5344 hectares that is vested in the Conservation Commission of Western Australia for the purpose of conservation of flora and fauna; (9) to (17) for the closure of portions of named and unnamed redundant road reserves, the bulk of which do not contain constructed roads, and the cessation of rights of way over these portions of road reserves [Note: Two portions of the redundant road reserves being cancelled contain sections of formed roads, but only the road reserves are being cancelled, and the portions of Lake Muir Road and an unnamed formed road within these redundant surveys will continue to be used for management purposes]; and (18) and (19) details of two easements to be granted to provide access to the proprietors of freehold land enclaves within the national park. The new national park will comprise these areas, described in (20) as the land in Lots 3025, 3026, 3027 and 3028 as shown coloured green on Deposited Plan 36435, and Nelson Locations 10930 and 13189 as shown bordered red on Deposited Plans 216083 and 183549 on the day this Act receives the Royal Assent.
This nature reserve was proposed in the Department of Conservation and Land Management’s Southern Forest Region Regional Management Plan 1987, and was carried forward and expanded in the approved Forest Management Plan 1994-2003. Parts of the proposed nature reserve were revoked under the Regional Forest Agreement for the South-West Forest Region of Western Australia (May 1999). These areas were reinstated under the Protecting our old-growth forests policy. An additional area was also included under the policy, and the entire area was proposed to become a national park. The national park proposal was carried forward in the approved Forest Management Plan 2004-2013. However, subsequently, as an outcome of the consultation process that has been undertaken to finalise the boundaries of this reserve, it has been determined that the area is to be set aside as a nature reserve, rather than a national park.
