relating to land in the park and botanic garden.

4.8.4          Except in cases of emergency, the impact assessment processes prescribed in Section 4.1 of this plan apply to actions under this Section.
             4.9              Management plan implementation and evaluation

         Our aim
         Manage the park and botanic garden in an effective and efficient manner and in accordance with obligations under this plan at law, and relevant Commonwealth and departmental policies.

         Background
         It is the responsibility of the Director under s.514B of the EPBC Act to administer, control, protect, conserve and manage biodiversity in Commonwealth reserves. Funds for the management of the park and botanic garden are allocated from the Australian National Parks Fund under the EPBC Act. The principal sources of the fund's money are prescribed by s.514S of the EPBC Act. Under s.356A of the EPBC Act the Director may collect charges for activities undertaken in Commonwealth reserves, subject to the approval of the Minister. As a corporate Commonwealth entity for the purposes of the PGPA Act, the Director is also subject to the requirements of that Act and the policies and rules made under it, as well as other relevant legislative requirements and government policies.

         Issues
           •      To effectively and responsibly implement this plan, work policies, procedures and programs must be consistent with the plan and with relevant government policies.
           •      Near this plan's expiry date, there should be a review of how successfully the plan has been implemented.

         Actions
4.9.1          Priorities for implementation of the actions in this plan will be determined by the need to protect and promote park and botanic garden values, ensure visitor and staff safety, and ensure cost effectiveness.
4.9.2          The findings of research and monitoring and contemporary approaches to natural resource management will be used to adapt the implementation of management activities.
4.9.3          Develop an implementation schedule for this plan and, based on the schedule, develop and implement annual priorities and work/operational plans.
4.9.4          Reviews of park management activities and performance will be provided through the Director's Annual Report or where otherwise required by the Director.
4.9.5          Undertake a formal review of this management plan at the commencement of the eighth year of the plan that:

               (a)    considers each management prescription and action and whether or not it was successfully implemented

               (b)    evaluates the performance of each prescription and action

               (c)     determines the cause of any prescription and/or action that was not implemented, or which failed to achieve the desired outcome; and

               (d)    provides recommendations for adapting future management, contributing towards the development of the next management plan for the park.
