Marine Parks (Great Sandy) Zoning Plan 2024

A traditional use of marine resources agreement is an agreement—

prepared by a traditional owner group for an area of the marine park; and

that provides for the traditional use of marine resources in the area; and

includes the matters for the agreement mentioned in subsection (2).

For subsection (1)(c), the matters for the agreement are—

a general description of the area of the marine park covered by the agreement; and

the name, or other identification, of each person covered by the agreement; and

the name and address of a person to whom correspondence may be sent on behalf of the traditional owner group; and

a detailed description of the area of the marine park and traditional use of marine resources covered by the agreement, including a description of the activities proposed to be carried out at stated locations in the area; and

the species of animals or plants proposed to be harvested and, if the species include 1 or more protected species, how many animals or plants of each protected species are proposed to be harvested; and

the management arrangements proposed by the traditional owner group for implementing the agreement, including the proposed role of the traditional owner group in ensuring compliance with the provisions of the agreement; and

the way the traditional use of marine resources is to be monitored and reported under the agreement, including the recording and reporting of information about the taking of animals and plants of a protected species; and

a statement about the process used to develop the agreement by the traditional owner group, including, for example, any consultation with government authorities or interested persons; and

any other information the chief executive reasonably requires by notice given to the traditional owner group.

However, an agreement is not invalidated as a traditional use of marine resources agreement only because it does not include a matter mentioned in subsection (2).
