Park policies

Our park management policies cover many issues and situations. These policies are designed to protect native plants, animals and ecosystems while meeting the needs of business operators and visitors.

 

These policies relate to the implementation of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 and accompanying regulations, and the Wilderness Act 1987. They cover:

  • how visitors should behave in national parks and reserves to protect native plants, animals and ecosystems
  • the responsibilities of National Parks and Wildlife Service, businesses operating in reserves, neighbours and visitors.

We review policies from time to time to keep them current.
