            encroachments onto reserve land;

            establish:
            1.    a regular compliance inspection program of commercial river leases identified in
                  Figure 1 of the report; and

                  or uses.
     D.     Note that matters arising from conflicts with the planning scheme by commercial jetty
            leaseholders are currently on hold while Council waits for advice from DNRM with
            regards to their intended actions, in particular in respect of the leases being for “marine
            facilities purposes”.
