mains, reticulation mains, a pumping station at lower Green Patch and several small pumps in the Green Patch camping areas. There is a small telemetry monitoring system within the park which feeds into the Jervis Bay Territory Administration's telemetry and alarms system Other delivery mains traverse the park, carrying waste water to the treatment works located outside the park, on HMAS Creswell. Treated water is held in a effluent reuse dam and is utilised for watering some of the extensive grassed areas on the Base. If an emergency overflow situation arises, the Administration maintains a permit to discharge into the waters of the park. The discharge is treated water with specified quality standards and would be unlikely to harm the environment. . The Jervis Bay Territory Administration holds a permit to discharge to the waters of the park via the emergency overflow. Under the permit, monitoring and reporting are required and the reporting of discharges must include percentage reuse achieved in each year compared with the target percentage.

Toilets at the Botanic Gardens, Visitor Centre, Cave Beach camping area, Bristol Point and Murrays Beach carpark are either septic systems and/or pump-out systems and are serviced at regular intervals.

Service corridor management
In order to minimise environmental impacts within water, electricity and sewerage infrastructure service corridors in the park, emphasis is placed on the alignment of services along road verges and the installation of underground electrical conductors. Generally wetland areas are avoided and shrub type vegetation is retained under powerlines.

Killing, injuring, taking, trading, keeping or moving native species in the park is prohibited by ss.354 and 354A of the EPBC Act except in accordance with this management plan. Additionally, EPBC Regulations (r.12.23) enable the Director to restrict entry to areas or control activities in the park on a temporary or permanent basis.

Issues
    * There is potential for adverse impacts on the park's natural and cultural values from infrastructure development.

    * Impacts on essential infrastructure by bushfires and fire management activities need to be considered.

    * The current water supply may not be sustainable.
