National Parks Zoning

In reply to the Hon. M.C. PARNELL (31 October 2019).

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services): The Minister for Environment and Water and the Minister for Planning have provided the following advice:

Under the current planning system there are a number of different zones that apply to national parks and other protected areas. The implementation of the new planning system, including the development of the new Planning and Design Code, has provided an opportunity to apply a consistent planning policy approach to our parks.

The Department for Environment and Water and the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure have jointly developed an approach that will see the conservation zone applied to national parks and other protected areas that are proclaimed under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 and the Wilderness Protection Act 1992.

This position has been well described in the engagement material for the code and is supported by the State Planning Commission.
