4.8       Master plan, capital works and asset management

Background
The ANBG has complex infrastructure to support its diverse functions including research, horticultural activities and education. This infrastructure includes office buildings, classrooms and meeting rooms, science laboratories, glasshouses, buildings that require controlled temperature and humidity, irrigation and other specialist plant and equipment, and a range of visitor facilities. The site has been developed over 50 years, and many of the buildings on site were constructed in the early 1970s.
The ANBG Master Plan 2015­–2035 sets out the guiding principles for future infrastructure development, to be applied together with the policies in this management plan. New developments will support enhanced visitor experiences, horticulture and research capabilities. This long-term vision will ensure that the ANBG remains at the forefront of contemporary gardens worldwide.
Sections 354 of the EPBC Act prohibit the Director and other persons carrying on an excavation, erecting a building or other structure, or carrying out works in the reserve except in accordance with a management plan.

Aim
    * Develop new infrastructure and other attractions to support the expansion of visitor experiences and educational and recreational opportunities without impacting on the precious living collection.

Issues
    * Implementing the master plan will need investment from government and from philanthropic and corporate funding sources.
    * Funding requirements for major repairs and maintenance are increasing as assets age.
