T R A N S I T. I O N A L A R R A N G E M E N T S 6.16.1 Lands for Further Consideration A number of Crown leases with State forest* gazetted over the top of them have had the State forest tenure revoked with the intention of voluntary purchase by NPWS* should the lessees desire, and subject to funds becoming available. NPWS* may pursue the purchase of any leases on these areas on an entirely voluntary basis using approaches agreed with the lessees or NSW Farmers as appropriate. Such proposed purchases will be subject to concurrence by DMR* where major mineral objections exist as mapped (refer to Map 2). DMR* will be notified in all other cases. Any areas for which the leases are purchased must be incorporated as soon as is practical by dedication to the national park estate*. If parts of the area covered by a lease lie outside of the area for further consideration then the Government may purchase the entire lease. In such cases, only those areas of the purchased lease within the area for further consideration will be added to the national park estate*. DUAP*, SFNSW*, and NPWS* agree that any tenure changes to any of these lands as a result of the above process must not occur without prior consultation with DMR*. DUAP*, SFNSW*, and NPWS* agree to prepare a joint acquisition strategy for these lands.
