Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) In preparing a
proposed management plan for any land, the responsible body for the land may
consult any person for the purposes of determining the value of the land to
the culture and heritage of Aboriginal persons.
(2) If the Minister is
satisfied that the time needed to determine the value of any land to the
culture and heritage of Aboriginal persons is likely to delay unreasonably the
process provided in sections 57 to 60 in relation to a management plan for the
land, the Minister, in writing, may exempt the responsible body from complying
with section 56(2) in relation to the proposed management plan for the land.
(3) If the responsible
body is exempted from complying with section 56(2) in relation to the proposed
management plan for any land, the proposed management plan must state that the
exemption has been given.
(4) A responsible body
that is exempted from complying with section 56(2) must, within the period (if
any) specified by the Minister in the exemption or, if no period is specified,
as soon as practicable after being exempted —
(a)
amend the proposed management plan; or
(b)
subject to section 61, take steps to have the management plan amended or to
have it revoked and a new plan substituted for it,
as the case requires,
and in doing so comply with section 56(2).
(5) The Minister, in
writing, may vary or cancel an exemption given under this section.
