Monitoring, evaluation and reporting will ensure park managers, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Marine Park community advisory committee and other stakeholders have access to relevant information about park and management performance in line with the points outlined above. Specific arrangements will be developed in consultation with the advisory committee, stakeholders and experts and seek to complement the Director's annual corporate planning and performance reporting requirements.

A Cocos (Keeling) Islands based advisory committee was established to support the preparation of this management plan and advise on management activities following the marine park's proclamation. A new Cocos (Keeling) Islands Marine Park advisory committee will be established under this plan to advise Parks Australia on the implementation of this plan.

      * community and park user views, knowledge and needs
      * monitoring, evaluation and reporting in accordance with Section 3.2 (Monitoring, evaluation

Terms of reference, including membership details, for the committee will be finalised in consultation with stakeholders. Consultation will include consideration of how best to align community advisory arrangements in relation to both Cocos (Keeling) Islands Marine Park and Pulu Keeling National Park (any arrangements involving Pulu Keeling National Park would need to be consistent with the lease granted to the Director by the Cocos (Keeling) Islands community for North Keeling Island and its surrounding waters).
