with the EPBC Act. It identifies desired outcomes and actions required to achieve these outcomes. The plan enables management to proceed in an orderly way, helps reconcile competing interests and identifies priorities for the allocation of available resources.

In line with the aspirations of the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council for sole management of the park, this plan aims to develop and enhance the Community's ability to eventually manage the park.

Under s.367(1) of the EPBC Act, a management plan for a Commonwealth reserve (in this case, the park) must provide for the protection and conservation of the reserve. In particular, a management plan must:

   (a)      assign the reserve to an IUCN category (whether or not a Proclamation has assigned the reserve or a zone of the reserve to that IUCN category); and

   (b)      state how the reserve, or each zone of the reserve, is to be managed; and

   (c)       state how the natural features of the reserve, or of each zone of the reserve, are to be protected and conserved; and

   (d)      if the Director holds land or seabed included in the reserve under lease—be consistent with the Director's obligations under the lease; and

   (e)      specify any limitation or prohibition on the exercise of a power, or performance of a function, under the EPBC Act in or in relation to the reserve; and

   (f)        specify any mining operation, major excavation or other work that may be carried on in the reserve, and the conditions under which it may be carried on; and

   (g)      specify any other operation or activity that may be carried on in the reserve; and

   (h)      indicate generally the activities that are to be prohibited or regulated in the reserve, and the means of prohibiting or regulating them; and

   (i)         indicate how the plan takes account of Australia's obligations under each agreement with one or more other countries that is relevant to the reserve (including the World Heritage Convention and the Ramsar Convention, if appropriate); and

   (j)         if the reserve includes a National Heritage place:

      (i)         not be inconsistent with the National Heritage management principles; and

      (ii)       address the matters prescribed by regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 324S(4)(a); and

   (k)       if the reserve includes a Commonwealth Heritage place:

      (i)         not be inconsistent with the Commonwealth Heritage management principles; and

      (ii)       address the matters prescribed by regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 341S(4)(a).

In preparing a management plan the EPBC Act (s.368) also requires account to be taken of various matters. In respect to Booderee National Park these matters include:

    * the regulation of the use of the park for the purpose for which it was declared

    * the interests of:

    - the traditional
