commitments made to the Community as part of the joint management negotiations (see Key Issues for the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community, p. 10). Consistent with the Lease, a business case for the Cultural Centre was prepared; however to date the project failed to obtain the necessary funding support from the Australian Government. The Council is exploring use of existing park assets to develop Aboriginal cultural business enterprises (see also Section 5.3, Community Opportunities for Business Development). This may include further developing cultural emphasis and activities at the Botanic Gardens and Visitor Centre and operating the Visitor Centre under contract.

The park would benefit from the construction of a new Cultural Centre, Visitor Centre and office space during the life of this plan.

Killing, injuring, taking, trading, keeping or moving native species in the park is prohibited by ss.354 and 354A of the EPBC Act except in accordance with this management plan. Additionally, EPBC Regulations (r.12.23) enable the Director to restrict entry to areas or control activities in the park on a temporary or permanent basis.

Issues

    * Resources are needed to replace ageing infrastructure.

    * There is a need to develop business enterprises and park assets.

    * Current park offices are ageing and are in need of repair or replacement.
