relevant NSW management agencies including the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, the NSW Fisheries Service, the NSW Marine Parks Authority and the NSW Rural Fire Service and plays an active role in relevant regional committees handling issues as diverse as fire management and tourism promotion.

Of special interest is the declaration of both the NSW Jervis Bay National Park and the NSW Jervis Bay Marine Park. These protected areas, combined with Booderee, now make up a significant part of the Jervis Bay region and are an important element of the National Reserve System, within the Sydney Basin Bioregion. This is extremely important for biodiversity conservation and provides an opportunity for cooperative management and development of interpretive and educational material.

As required under the first plan, a Memorandum of Understanding between the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and Parks Australia in regard to the cooperative management of conservation reserves in the Jervis Bay region has been put in place.

Issues
    * There is a need to work with neighbouring conservation managers to ensure complementary management regimes.

    * Access and usage rights to facilities outside the park such as the Depot need to be maintained.

    * The park's natural and cultural values must be protected from adverse impacts.

    * There is a need to maintain effective communication with park stakeholders.
