Conservation Agreements with a statutory authority or another minister

The Minister may enter into a Conservation Agreement under Section 69B of the National Parks & Wildlife Act 1974. Section 69C states the purpose and content of Conservation Agreements.

Section 69K (5) states that this requirement does not apply if the proposed Conservation Agreement is over land leased by a person (other than a statutory authority or Minister) if the lease is made under the Crown Lands Act 1989, the Crown Lands (Continued Tenures) Act 1989 or the Western Lands Act 1901).
