About Pureba
Pureba is known as a 'locality'. This means it's a specific area of land, much like a suburb or a town, but it might not have many people living there. The boundaries for Pureba were first set up in January 1999. Its name comes from Pureba Hill, which is a hill found within this area.
What's Pureba Like?
The main purpose of the land in Pureba is to protect nature. A big part of Pureba is the Pureba Conservation Park. This park helps keep the plants and animals safe. Even though it's a conservation area, some activities like exploring for minerals and mining are allowed, but only under special rules from the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. This law helps make sure that any activities don't harm the environment too much.
