opportunities and securing further contracts, both in and outside the park, creating more employment opportunities for Community members.

Training
The commitments made to the Community by the Australian Government as part of the negotiations regarding joint management included support for training Community members in park management and other forms of land management. In particular the Lease requires the Director to establish and implement a program for training reasonable numbers of the Community in skills relevant to the administration, management and control of the park. This is recognised as a critical part of progress towards the Community's sole management vision. A training officer is employed in the park with a primary role of developing and implementing the training strategy for the park and Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council. The training officer is assisted by the Training Committee, made up of senior representatives of Parks Australia, and the Council. The Director will continue to initiate training opportunities for members of the Community through implementation of the Training Strategy.

Lease
The Lease provides for discussion between the Director and the Council about possible variations to the lease every five years. An existing management plan cannot be amended other than by a new plan. Therefore, if changes arising from review of the Lease require any change to the management plan, a new management plan incorporating the changes will be required.

Water
Fresh water for use in the Territory is extracted from the only natural exposed water table lake in the park, Lake Windermere. The lake has a restricted catchment, is shallow and subject to significant loss through evaporation, and is subject to changes in the water table. As such, lake levels vary greatly and reduced significantly prior to the preparation of this plan. Water conservation principles will continue to be applied to all water use in the park. As opportunities arise, facilities which use less water will replace existing facilities, particularly where water use is greatest. Water use efficiency will be considered when planning new buildings and horticultural infrastructure.

             Always….  Koori people have always used Bherwerre because of its rich diversity. It has always been a place of great significance to our people because of its unique location and its abundance of foods and medicines. It has provided us with an area where we can continue to pass on our traditional knowledge.
