(PARAGRAPH RE HYDRO DEVELOPMENT)

The original Lake Pedder remained part of the national park, as it does to the present day[14] despite its inundation in 1972 as part of the hydro-electric development. The state government's intention at the time was that the lake's national park status would no longer potentially hinder the hydro-electric development.[15]

Despite their name, most Australian national parks are declared, and are able to be revoked or modified, under state legislation, although additional Federal protections may apply and take precedence, such as to areas that have World Heritage status.[16][17][18]
