BUSINESS MANAGEMENT

        Goal 4.               Demonstrate best practice, innovation and sustainable management

Direction setting
The ANBG will seek innovative and sustainable approaches that ensure an efficient and effective use of resources, making significant contributions to biodiversity conservation and influencing Australia's policy and practice through outstanding work in science, horticulture, education and botanic garden management.
The ANBG Master Plan (2015–2035) was developed to provide a plan for the future to replace ageing infrastructure and enhance the visitor experience. Implementation of the master plan will ensure that the ANBG is regarded as a world-class botanic garden and supports tourism, horticulture and research capabilities.
Managing the ANBG requires an ongoing commitment to ensuring a successful, safe and healthy workplace and visitor attraction. The maintenance and protection of ANBG values will continue to require security measures and an effective education and enforcement program.
The ANBG will make effective contributions to the conservation of Australia's natural and cultural heritage through best practice business management. Productive partnerships with the public and private sectors, as well as volunteers and local communities, will support the management of the ANBG. Providing opportunities for appropriate commercial operations and events will continue to enhance the visitor experience.
