The 1996 amendment outlines the ANBG's importance as part of Canberra's portfolio of national institutions and highlights various values. It also discusses the ANBG's importance in terms of visual, physical and symbolic linkages, and outlines landscape, environment, activity location and building principles and policies.

ANBG Management Plan 2002–2008: ANBG 2001
The 2001 management plan contains policy and procedural statements including ongoing responsibilities and developments. In contrast to the first management plan, it sets out numerous actions to be implemented. This plan is ambitious and incorporates many of the recommendations in the Development planning guide (Hassell Group 1992), although it does not make reference to the guide.

The second management plan is a detailed policy document that outlines key ongoing operations and highlights the core work of the ANBG as an institution and strategies for managing the reserve. A technical audit of the plan highlighted key successes and issues at the ANBG from 2002 to 2008.
Of the 285 actions outlined in the plan, nearly two-thirds were implemented; 54% of these were 'ongoing' actions. More than one-fifth of the actions were partially implemented and a few of these were 'ongoing'. Around 16.1% of actions were not implemented. Several actions were either not implemented or partially implemented due to a lack of available resources including funding, staff and capacity.

Of the 172 policies, the audit identified 93.0% (160) as implemented but ongoing, 0.6% (1) as implemented with modification, 2.9% (5) as partially implemented, and 3.5% (6) as not having been commenced. Of the 247 actions, it evaluated 5.7% (14) as completed with no further action, 82.6% (204) as implemented but ongoing, 1.6% (4) as implemented with modification, 4.9% (12) as partially implemented, and 5.3% (13) as not having been commenced.
