Part 2
Management plan for the Australian National Botanic Gardens

Background
This part first sets out the context in which the Australian National Botanic Gardens (ANBG) management plan was prepared. It describes previous plans and the network of legislative requirements and international agreements that underpin the strategic direction of this plan. It then sets out how the ANBG will be managed for the next 10 years.

Previous management plans
This is the fourth ANBG management plan. The first management plan was in operation from 1993 to 2001. The second management plan came into operation on 9 January 2002 and ceased to have effect on 8 January 2009. The third management plan came into effect on 29 May 2012 and ceased on 29 May 2022. Previous planning tools that apply to the work of the ANBG are summarised in Appendix A.
Section 357 of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) requires the Director of National Parks to manage a Commonwealth reserve following the expiration of a management plan in accordance with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) management principles for the IUCN category to which the reserve was assigned under an expired management plan.

Structure of this management plan
The plan reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the ANBG. It presents strategic priorities for the next 10 years, grouped under 4 broad goals, that will guide the management of the Commonwealth reserve and the associated living, seed and herbarium collections, as well as providing broad direction for the ANBG's scientific and educational roles.
The structure of this plan reflects the Parks Australia Strategic Planning, Evaluation and Reporting Framework, a set of priorities based on Australian Government policy and requirements for the management of Commonwealth reserves under the EPBC Act.
Success in delivery of this management plan will be measured against performance measures specified in Portfolio Budget Statements and the Director of National Parks Corporate Plan.

Planning process
Section 366 of the EPBC Act requires the Director of National Parks to prepare management plans for each Commonwealth reserve. In doing so the Director of National Parks must (under s 368 of the Act) seek comments from members of the public and the relevant state or territory government. For this plan, this included a call for community members to prepare written submissions on a range of issues including climate change, management, curation of the living collection, visitor experiences, environmentally sustainable management and the role
