Wetland's ecological resources, geomorphological features and aquatic conditions, and maintain a diversity of wetland and other habitats for wildlife conservation.
        3.        Provide for the use of Jerrabomberra Wetlands as a significant educational resource which promotes educational activities appropriate to the area such as nature appreciation, fosters public awareness about wetland ecosystems, and facilities interpretation about birds and other aquatic wildlife. The area is also to be available for scientific research related to wetland environments.
        4.        Maintain and enhance the rural and floodplain landscape character and strengthen the perception and appreciation of the Jerrabomberra Wetlands and its surroundings as an integral part of the landscape of Lake Burley Griffin and the setting for the National Capital.
        5.        Facilitate recreational use, education and interpretation programmes, and informal and quiet enjoyment of the area's natural qualities while protecting Jerrabomberra Wetlands as a significant conservation resource in an urban setting.  A range of facilities should be provided from Visitor Information Centres and bird‑hides to information signs and paths.
        6.        Provide for the continuation of current essential urban service infrastructure (electricity, water supply, sewerage). Any future proposal for new or upgraded services will be required to demonstrate that there are no prudent or feasible alternatives to locating new infrastructure within Jerrabomberra Wetlands Nature Reserve. If this can be demonstrated, works will be required to protect the nature conservation core areas and all reasonable measures to minimise adverse impacts must be taken.
        7.        Facilitate planning, development and management of the Jerrabomberra Wetlands as a part of the National Capital Open Space System and in a manner which sustains specific uses consistent with conservation of its wetlands habitats, protects it from the impacts of external land uses, and ensures the wetlands are maintained and used in the broader context of planning for the whole of the Molonglo River and Jerrabomberra Creek floodplain and the Lake Burley Griffin Technical and Management Guidelines.

Nature Conservation Core Area (A1 and A2)
The existing wetland habitat is significant both for its nature conservation value and its potential for public viewing and interpretation in an urban location. The Nature Conservation Core Area is primarily identified for conservation and protection of wetland habitat and associated wildlife, where carefully controlled public access can be provided for interpretative and educational activities. Within the Core Area zoning can provide for bird refuge areas with general public access excluded, and for other areas where public facilities and access is provided. Overall,
