AMENDMENT 37 OF THE NATIONAL CAPITAL PLAN 
Amend the National Capital Plan as follows: 
1. DELETE from Appendix G (Requirements for Namadgi National Park and Adjacent Areas) the Policy Statement B.5 Future Tennent Reservoir and Environs which states: 
“Site for future reservoir for Canberra water supply and associated recreation. Approved grazing and pasture crop production to continue in the short term. The erection of approved new structures, and repair and additions to existing structures, which facilitate the existing use of the land to be limited, having regard to the expected economic life of the development. Steeper and forested slopes on Mt Tennent and Billy Range to be progressively withdrawn from grazing and natural regeneration to be encouraged. Cleared slopes of the Lower Naas and Gudgenby Valleys to be progressively revegetated by natural regeneration or artificial means. These areas are to be withdrawn from grazing and block boundaries rationalised as the opportunity arises, so as to improve the functional capability or rural land units. 
Use of future reservoir to include public recreation, including fishing, rowing, sailing and low-powered boats (to be introduced on the basis of a phased programme of managed recreation development).  Public access to the reservoir to be prohibited within a 1 000 m zone of the outlet tower and spillway.” 
AND 
2. SUBSTITUTE the following new Policy Statement B.5: 
B.5 Future Tennent Reservoir and Environs Site for future reservoir for water supply and associated recreation and regeneration. Approved grazing and pasture crop production may continue in the interim. Natural regeneration to be encouraged on the steeper and forested slopes of Mt Tennent and Billy Range. 
Management of future reservoir may allow public recreation, including fishing, rowing, sailing and low-powered boats introduced on the basis of a phased program of recreation development.
