RESTRICTED ACCESS AREAS

RESTRICTED ACCESS AREAS

23. The two local areas designated 'restricted access' were parts of CR and the Granite House at Botany Bay which is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). All CRP personnel were briefed about these restricted areas and maps were displayed for all to see. Personnel accepted the reasoning behind the restrictions and compliance appeared to be excellent. This was especially so of CR given its close proximity to the Camp.

24. The Project Manager approved all proposed visits to Granite House. Seven parties visited the historic site, the first on 21 October and the last on 27 November. Transport into Granite Harbour was by either skidoo or Hagglunds and approach to the site only by foot. The largest party numbered 10, the maximum permissible. A total of 47 made the visit, an average of seven persons per party. Each party had a nominated visit-leader to ensure correct visit compliance.
