PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                               8 DECEMBER 2015


     The consequences of creating two separate parcels is that Section 51 of the Land Title
      Act 1994 requires that a plan of survey dedicating a lot for public use (i.e. reserve for
      community purpose), may be registered only if that lot has access by way of a
      dedicated road or public thoroughfare easement; or the Minister has approved that the
      plan may register without access to the lot being available provided specific
      circumstances exist (but in reality extremely hard to achieve).

Road access considerations

     The most logical location for providing alternative road access to the Reserve is by:

      o    Constructing currently unformed Road No. 205 between the Wilderness Track
           and through to the existing track within National Parks.

      o    Excising the area of the existing track to the north of Road No. 205 from National
           Park and dedicating it as road reserve.

     Road reserve No. 205 is located in low lying, poorly drained terrain. There are
      overhead power lines through the centre of the road corridor making it difficult to
      provide a good track formation (refer Photo A below).
