Mr HAMPTON - 2010-11-25
Mr HAMPTON (Natural Resources, Environment and Heritage): Madam Speaker, in relation to the question from the member for Macdonnell about the Telegraph Station, particularly why is the tenure changing, who it is going to, and what the title is being converted to: I can advise that progress of joint management of parks and reserves across the Territory has been made in four areas: (1) title transfer to Aboriginal ownership and lease-back arrangements; (2) joint management plans; (3) governance and partnership development; and (4) Indigenous employment.
In relation to the Telegraph Station, I am advised the Alice Springs Telegraph Station is a Schedule 3 park under the Parks And Reserves (Framework For The Future) Act. The reserve will be jointly managed subject to the Indigenous Land Use Agreement and the final joint management plan. There is no title transfer or change in tenure that will occur.
I encourage Central Australians, in particular people in Alice Springs, to get on the website or have their say in how the future of the park will be run, as community consultation closes on 31 December this year.
Finally, the first day of the Ashes game at the Gabba and England is four for 197.
