Managing our parks Pressures on our parks are increasing. Natural places are being overtaken by urban, industrial and agricultural development. Precious remnants like national parks and other protected areas have to provide homes for wildlife to maintain our biodiversity and meet expanding outdoor recreation needs. Careful management and community help is needed to protect parks and safeguard those values which make them so special.
Legislation helps protect our parks.
For each park, a management plan will be prepared to identify the park's special values and determine ways to ensure those values are preserved and enhanced. Parks are managed for many purposes. Nature comes first but people are not forgotten. Careful management ensures people can enjoy the parks without damaging these special places. Management plans are now available for many National Parks throughout Queensland.
