the reserve includes a Commonwealth Heritage place:
      1. not be inconsistent with the Commonwealth Heritage management principles; and
ii.        address the matters prescribed by regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 341S(4)(a).

The EPBC Act (s 368(3)) also requires the Director preparing a management plan to take various matters into account. In respect of the ANBG, these matters include:
    * the regulation of the use of the reserve for the purposes for which it was declared
    * the protection of the special features of the reserve, including objects and sites of biological, historical, palaeontological, archaeological, geological and geographical interest
    * the protection, conservation and management of biodiversity and heritage within the reserve
    * the protection of the reserve against damage
    * Australia's obligations under agreements between Australia and one or more other countries relevant to the protection and conservation of biodiversity and heritage.

IUCN category and zoning
As noted above, a Commonwealth reserve management plan must assign the reserve to an IUCN protected area category. In addition, a management plan may divide a Commonwealth reserve into zones and assign each zone to an IUCN category. The category to which a zone is assigned may differ from the category to which the reserve is assigned (s 367(2)).
The provisions of a management plan must not be inconsistent with the management principles for the IUCN category to which the reserve or a zone of the reserve is assigned (s 367(3)).

International agreements
This management plan takes account of Australia's obligations under relevant international agreements and the specific role that the ANBG can play in supporting national obligations under such conventions.

Convention on Biological Diversity
Australia ratified the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) on 18 June 1993 and the CBD came into force in December 1993. The CBD's objectives are:
    * the conservation of biological diversity
    * the sustainable use of its components
    * the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilisation of genetic resources, including by appropriate access to genetic resources and by appropriate transfer of relevant technologies, taking into account all rights over those resources and to technologies, and by appropriate funding.
The ANBG plays an important role in achieving these objectives through the implementation of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (Secretariat of the CBD undated) and the Global Taxonomy Initiative. The ANBG leads the negotiation, coordination and reporting of plant conservation targets and actions in Australia through its hosting of the National Focal Point for the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation. It also provides representation to the international taxonomic community through its hosting of the National Focal Point for the Global Taxonomy Initiative. More specifically, its collections and the application of skills
