Aim
    * Management and development of essential infrastructure within the park conforms to the highest standards of environmental best practice.

Background
A range of essential service infrastructure located throughout the park provides power, water, sewerage and communications to visitor sites, residential areas, and government facilities within the park and Territory. The legal status of and respective responsibilities for this infrastructure and associated service corridors are complex, necessitating ongoing liaison and cooperation between government agencies regarding its management.

Sections 354 and 354A of the EPBC Act prohibit the Director and other persons carrying on an excavation, erecting a building or other structure, or carrying out works in the park except in accordance with this plan.

Electricity/water/sewerage infrastructure
Australian Government-owned water reticulation and sewerage treatment systems that service the Territory are contained within the Territory. The electrical reticulation system, whilst also an Australian Government asset, draws power from the NSW state grid. These utilities are administered by the Jervis Bay Territory Administration and maintained by its contractors.

The Jervis Bay Territory Administration manages the provision of electricity supply to most locations in the Territory. Electricity supply is distributed on the Australian Government-owned network, with distribution primarily via aerial cabling. Small sections of the network utilise underground cabling.

The potable water for the Territory is sourced from the naturally occurring Lake Windermere. The water distribution/storage infrastructure within the park comprises a pumping facility at Lake Windermere, mains, treatment plant, reservoir or holding tanks at Stoney Creek and appropriate telemetry monitoring. Potable water is then gravity fed, through pipes traversing the park, to locations throughout the Territory.

High voltage 11 kilovolt electrical reticulation traverses the park and underground high voltage reticulation runs adjacent to Jervis Bay Road from the park entrance to various points within the park. Pad/pole-mounted transformers located throughout the park are connected by low voltage reticulation, both aerial and underground, to office buildings, toilet/shower blocks, and other fixtures.

Waste water infrastructure within the park comprises park assets of pressure mains, reticulation mains, a pumping station at lower Green Patch and several small pumps in the Green Patch camping areas. There is a small telemetry monitoring system within the park which feeds into the Jervis Bay Territory Administration's telemetry and
