    6.8.18    Consistent with climate change strategies for the park (see Section 6.11, Climate Change) continue to monitor species or communities likely to be most at risk from impacts of climate change and identify options to improve their resilience.

    6.9           Living collection of the Botanic Gardens

Aims
    * Manage a living collection that aids understanding and appreciation of the flora of the coastal region of south-eastern Australia with an emphasis on Aboriginal plant use.

    * Continue to develop the Botanic Gardens as an example of good landscaping and horticultural practice.

Background
Establishment of the present living collection of coastal south-eastern Australia flora began in the 1950s with the development of the Booderee Botanic Gardens as a frost-free annex to the Australian National Botanic Gardens. Members of the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community made a major contribution to developing the Botanic Gardens and most households have had members who worked there between the 1960s and the present.
