220S Matters to which Minister to have regard in declaring critical habitat
(1) Before deciding whether an area identified by the Minister should be
declared critical habitat, the Minister must have regard to the following--
(a) the likely social and economic consequences of a declaration of the area
as critical habitat,
(b) without limiting paragraph (a), the likely
consequences of a declaration of the area as critical habitat for landholders
of, or other persons having an interest in, or in lawful uses of, the land
concerned,
(c) the advice of the Fisheries Scientific Committee on the
matter,
(d) any written submissions received by the Minister on or before the
date specified for the receipt of public submissions about the preliminary
identification of the area and, in particular, any submissions received from
public authorities exercising relevant functions in relation to the area.
(2)
In so doing, the Minister must also consider whether, consistent with the
principles of ecologically sustainable development, the area identified might
be amended to avoid or lessen any adverse consequences of its declaration as
critical habitat.
