Next steps

The review report and a summary of consultation and submissions will be provided to the Jervis Bay Marine Park Advisory Committee for comment in the near future. In mid-2009, the review report, summary of consultation and submissions, and comments from the advisory committee, will be provided by the Marine Parks Authority to the Minister for Climate Change and the Environment and the Minister for Primary Industries for consideration.

Ministers will then direct the Marine Parks Authority to either prepare a draft zoning plan to amend the current zoning plan, or to continue with the current zoning plan. If the Ministers decide that a draft zoning plan is to be prepared, this will occur in consultation with the Jervis Bay Marine Park Advisory Committee. The new draft zoning plan will be subject to further public consultation, including a three-month public exhibition period.
