You could also call this:

"What the people in charge of historic reserves can do to manage them"

Illustration for Reserves Act 1977

The administering body of an historic reserve can do certain things to manage it. You can think of the administering body like a group of people who take care of the reserve. They can appoint people to help look after the reserve, like officers, servants, and rangers, who may or may not get paid.

The administering body can also use part of the reserve for buildings, but only if the Minister agrees. The Minister will only agree if the buildings are necessary for the reserve and can't be built nearby.

The administering body can charge fees for people to enter the reserve or use its facilities, but only if the Minister approves the fees. They can also do other things to manage the reserve, as long as it's necessary or desirable for the reserve's care.
