Summary of community and stakeholder engagement Kamay Botany Bay National Park

On 29 April 2020, it will be the 250th anniversary of the first contact between Aboriginal Australians and the crew of the Endeavour, this is also described as the first meeting of two cultures. The upcoming anniversary has precipitated a fresh look at the 2008 master plan for the Meeting Place in the Kurnell Precinct of Kamay Botany Bay National Park and the opportunities it offers to present this nationally significant place as one that respects, and interprets, the many layers of history evident.

The Office of Environment and Heritage commissioned a community engagement specialist to work with the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), on the roll out of a targeted community and stakeholder engagement program in the design of a new master plan for the Kurnell Precinct.
