Appendix J
Summary of results for the Technical Audit of the
third management plan for Pulu Keeling National Park
Prior to preparing this plan an audit of the second management plan for the park was conducted to assess its effectiveness and to provide recommendations to assist with the preparation of this plan. The audit (DNP 2011) assessed the status and trend in relation to management performance against the management areas indentified in the previous plan.

A summary of the audit results is provided below.

Zoning and IUCN category
Aim: To have a zoning scheme for Pulu Keeling National Park that provides for appropriate use of the park, while protecting its natural and cultural features.
Status: Healthy
Trend: Stable
Rationale
Management and permitted activities complied with the assigned IUCN categories.
Access to and use of the park's terrestrial areas was managed primarily for nature conservation and scientific research with some limited opportunities for educational use/visitation. Minimal infrastructure is provided.
The park's marine areas were managed in accordance with the IUCN national park category. The conservation of the marine environment was the primary focus, but visitor access and activities such as fishing were provided for under permit.

Terrestrial flora
Aim: To protect and manage the native vegetation communities of North Keeling Island
