a Memorandum of Understanding between the Director and the Jervis Bay Primary School and aligns with school curricula. The program's objectives are in keeping with the park's joint management philosophy and the provisions and obligations of the Lease (see also Section 5.2, Community Development, Employment and Training).

The Director may prohibit or restrict access to all or part of a Commonwealth reserve (r.12.23)

Issues
    * Traditional owners want to have input and guide decisions about cultural heritage management programs and priorities and to protect their cultural knowledge and materials.

    * There is a need for ongoing cross-cultural training for all staff.

    * Documentation of oral histories and traditional knowledge is urgently required to avoid generational loss of knowledge and culture with the passing of older Community members.
