This handbook outlines the licence conditions Operators need to abide by when conducting their business in these areas. Western Australia (WA) has one of the most magnificent natural and cultural environments on earth. It encompasses remnant rainforests, karri and jarrah forests, mangroves, heathlands, wetlands, coral reefs and deserts. These are combined with dramatic landscapes, beaches and gorges, masses of wildflowers, as well as unique features such as the Pinnacles, the striped beehive domes of the Bungle Bungle Range, the meteorite crater at Wolfe Creek and the coral coast of Ningaloo Reef. Aboriginal people are the traditional custodians of these lands and waters and have a special connection to country. WA has places of immense cultural, scientific, educational and historic interest that provide Aboriginal people with an important link to their culture and heritage. The department has a long history of partnerships with Aboriginal traditional owners and has many successful and ongoing partnerships in place for joint management. The department acknowledges the unique role and expertise Aboriginal people have as traditional custodians of the lands and waters and recognises the valuable contribution they make to caring for country. WA also displays an incredible diversity of marine ecosystems and habitats unrivalled by other states and territories of Australia. The coastal environment of our state extends from latitudes 14 degrees to 35 degrees south, ranging from the warm tropical waters of the Timor Sea off the Kimberley coast to the cool temperate waters of the Southern Ocean. The State’s coastline is over 13,000 kilometres in length and accounts for about 40 per cent of the continental coastline of Australia. Conservation of the State’s marine biodiversity is not only for its intrinsic value, but also as the fundamental basis of major recreational, tourism and fishing industries. The State has pristine environments and rich cultural heritage that give WA a unique sense of place, great recreational opportunities and vast commercial benefits. To maintain an equitable balance between conservation of these spectacular environments and commercial recreational use, the Director General of the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (the department) may grant licences to Operators conducting commercial activities on lands and waters that are vested in the Conservation and Parks Commission (the Commission) and/ or a joint responsible body, and that are managed by the department under the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984 (referred to as CALM Act land). Licences are the legal basis that allow approved commercial operations to occur on CALM Act land in accordance with conditions. Part 7 of the Conservation and Land Management Regulations 2002 (CALM Regulations) allows the Director General, with the approval of the Minister for Environment (the Minister), to issue commercial operations licences to private individuals and companies that wish to operate on CALM Act land, which includes marine conservation reserves. Operators must abide by the conditions in their licence as well as the conditions set out in this handbook. The Commercial Operator Handbook applies to both terrestrial and marine reserves managed by the department under the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984 (CALM Act) and CALM Regulations. It clearly identifies the enforceable licence conditions which apply to specific operations and areas that Operators must abide by (or risk penalty). It also informs Operators as to how they: • help maintain and protect
