achieve this vision Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council's Goals are:

        * Sole ownership of all lands and waters within the Jervis Bay Territory.

        * Sole management of its freehold land and waters, allowing for Community responsibility, empowerment and self determination.

        * Sole representation of the Community's united and democratically agreed interests, at all levels of Government and in all external dealings so as to protect Community and members rights.

        * Environmentally sustainable development, to allow a productive economic base for the Community. By managing Booderee as an ongoing park, the Community seeks to protect the land and waters while earning income, creating jobs and achieving financial security.

        * Social and cultural development, linked with appropriate cultural training and education, to improve Community empowerment and management, security and wellbeing, while preserving Community value.

        * Improved health, housing and living standards, to levels at least comparable with good practice in other Australian communities.

        * Recognition and support from the wider Australian community and Government, to achieve these worthwhile and positive goals.

  Foreword

  We believe visitors and all those connected with Booderee National Park recognise the park as a very important and special part of Australia's heritage which needs careful management and cooperation between all interested parties. Booderee is home to the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community, it is a national park with considerable cultural and biological significance and it is a valued destination for many visitors.

  This management plan has been completed following extensive public input.
  A draft management plan was released for public comment on 4 May 2011 which attracted 29 written submissions. These submissions spanned a diversity of interests: Australian, state and local government; industry and user groups; and individuals. The Board of Management considered these submissions when finalising this management plan, and altered aspects of the plan in response to the issues raised.

  This second management plan for Booderee National Park will provide essential guidance over the next decade for the management of one of the most popular visitor destinations in the Shoalhaven region, which provides rewarding visitor experiences in natural and cultural settings.
