Purpose, content and matters to be taken into account in a management plan
The purpose of this management plan is to describe the philosophy and direction for the management of the park for the next 10 years in accordance with the EPBC Act. The plan outlines and identifies the park's values and how they are to be protected, conserved and presented. It enables management to proceed in an orderly way, helps reconcile competing interests and identifies priorities for the allocation of available resources.

   (a)       assign the reserve to an IUCN 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 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 any other 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
