Purpose and content of a management plan
The purpose of this management plan is to describe the philosophy and direction of management for the ANBG for the next 10 years in accordance with the EPBC Act. The plan enables management to proceed in an orderly way, helps to reconcile competing interests, and identifies priorities for the allocation of available resources.
Under s 367(1) of the EPBC Act, a management plan for a Commonwealth reserve (in this case, the ANBG) must provide for the protection and conservation of the reserve. In particular, the plan must:
   1.    assign the reserve to an IUCN protected area category (whether or not a Proclamation has assigned the reserve or a zone of the reserve to that IUCN category); and
b.      state how the reserve, or each zone of the reserve, is to be managed; and
c.       state how the natural features of the reserve, or of each zone of the reserve, are to be protected and conserved; and
d.      if the Director of National Parks holds land or seabed included in the reserve under lease – be consistent with the Director's obligations under the lease; and
e.      specify any limitation or prohibition on the exercise of a power, or performance of a function, under the EPBC Act in or in relation to the reserve; and
f.       specify any mining operation, major excavation or other works that may be carried on in the reserve, and the conditions under which it may be carried on; and
g.      specify an operation or activity that may be carried on in the reserve; and

h.      indicate generally the activities that are to be prohibited or regulated in the reserve, and the means of prohibiting or regulating them; and
i.        indicate how the plan takes account of Australia's obligations under each agreement with one or more other countries that is relevant to the reserve (including the World Heritage Convention and the Ramsar Convention, if appropriate); and
j.        if the reserve includes a National Heritage Place:
      1. not be inconsistent with the National Heritage management principles; and
      2. address the matters prescribed by regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 324S(4)(a); and
k.      if the reserve includes a Commonwealth Heritage place:
      1. not be inconsistent with the Commonwealth Heritage management principles; and
ii.        address the matters prescribed by regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 341S(4)(a).
