Résumé

The Act, consisting of 47 sections divided into six Parts, provides for the appointment of the Commissioner for Soil Conservation and soil conservation officers. For the purposes of this Act, there shall be a council, to be known as the Soil Conservation Advisory Council. The Council shall have the following functions: (a) to advise the Minister on matters relating to this Act and the regulations; (b) to provide a forum for the discussion and consideration of matters concerning soil conservation; (c) to receive and consider reports and recommendations from the Commissioner on action taken by him under this Act and, where necessary, approve of or ratify that action; and (d) to hear and consider submissions put before it by members of the public and, in particular, persons affected by the operation of this Act. The Commissioner may provide assistance to landholders relating to soil conservation and land reclamation. Where in the opinion of the Commissioner a danger of soil erosion would be created the Commissioner may serve a Soil Conservation Order on a landholder of that area of land. The Minister may, upon the recommendation of the Council, by notice in the Gazette, declare an area of land that is subject to soil erosion or that is likely to become subject to soil erosion to be an area of erosion hazard.
