Professor Tasman Crowe:

Head 10(4) allows objections to be raised after publication by selective groups which are individually notified. It struck me that it is a list of groups or individuals with a specific economic interest in the area that is potentially going to be designated. Groups like NGOs, community groups and recreational users are bracketed with the period of general public consultation, which is four weeks, whereas under head 10(4) there are 12 weeks available for input. The latter period is necessary for NGOs to formulate a response.
