if any land in the area proposed to be set aside is owned by another public statutory body, that public statutory body; and

if any land in the area proposed to be set aside is Crown land, the Minister responsible for that land; and

if there is a specified Aboriginal party for an area that is wholly or partly within the area proposed to be set aside, a representative of that specified Aboriginal party; and

if the managing Authority considers that the interests of any other person, community group or public statutory body are likely to be affected by the determination, that person, community group or public statutory body.
