           •      identify and recommend conservation priorities for Norfolk Island National Park and Norfolk Island Botanic Garden
           •      make recommendations on work programs required to implement the management plan
           •      provide a forum for members of the Norfolk Island community to raise issues relevant to the management of Norfolk Island National Park and Norfolk Island Botanic Garden.
