Mungo National Park Plan of Management

Mungo National Park is situated in south-western NSW in an area known as the Willandra Lakes region. It is 110 kilometres north-east of the Victorian/New South Wales border towns of Mildura/Wentworth and 140 kilometres north-west of the New South Wales town of Balranald. The park covers an area of 90,256 hectares, of which approximately 60,000 hectares falls within the Willandra Lakes Region World Heritage Area.

The area holds great significance for three traditional Aboriginal tribal groups, Paakantyi, Mutthi Mutthi and Ngyiampaa, who are closely involved in the management of the World Heritage Area and Mungo National Park.

This plan of management aims to achieve conservation of the values of the World Heritage Area. Management will reflect the ongoing cultural significance of Mungo National Park to Aboriginal people, and the traditional tribal groups will have an important continuing role in management of the park.

The plan aims to maximise conservation of natural heritage values while also conserving cultural heritage values, both Aboriginal and those relating to past use of the landscape as pastoral properties.
