How the Australian National Botanic Gardens will be managed
This section outlines the process for assigning the ANBG to an IUCN category. Subsequent sections outline 4 goals for the ANBG, describe a broad management direction to be taken in the next 10 years and present prescriptions (policies and actions) to help achieve these goals.

Assigning the ANBG to an IUCN category
The provisions of a management plan must not be inconsistent with the Australian IUCN reserve management principles for the IUCN category to which the reserve or a zone of the reserve is assigned (s 367(3) of the EPBC Act).
The EPBC Act requires this management plan to assign the ANBG to an IUCN category consistent with the purposes for which it was declared. The ANBG was declared for the purposes of conservation, display and protection of flora, scientific research and education, consistent with the characteristics for IUCN protected area category IV, habitat/species management area.
The EPBC Act (s 348) requires the EPBC Regulations to prescribe principles for each IUCN category. These principles are the Australian IUCN reserve management principles for the category.
Of particular relevance to the ANBG is the final Australian IUCN reserve management principle (5.07) for category IV prescribed in clause 5.07 of Schedule 8 of the EPBC Regulations, which provides that::
 … if the reserve or zone is declared for the purpose of a botanic garden, it should also be managed for the increase of knowledge, appreciation and enjoyment of Australia's plant heritage by establishing, as an integrated resource, a collection of living and herbarium specimens of Australian and related plants for study, interpretation, conservation and display.

Aim
Manage the ANBG in accordance with an IUCN category that provides for appropriate use of the reserve while protecting its natural and cultural features.

Issue
An appropriate management category needs to be assigned to ensure appropriate protection, conservation and use of the reserve.

What we are going to do

Policy
The ANBG is assigned to IUCN protected area category IV, habitat/species management area, and will be managed in accordance with the management principles set down in Schedule 8 of the EPBC Regulations.

Action
Ensure that management actions are undertaken in accordance with the relevant Australian IUCN reserve management principles.
