ANBG curatorial framework needs to consider advances in relevant plant science, including genetics and conservation research.
    * Further work is required on the proactive management of known biosecurity threats to the living collection, including pests, weeds and diseases.
    * We need to maintain and manage all trees, including those that naturally occur on the site and those introduced from other parts of Australia, for their conservation value and public safety.
    * The curatorial framework needs to consider decision-making for prioritising resource investment – for example, whether new collections of rare and threatened species should increase the total number of species or increase the diversity of particular species represented ex situ.

What we are going to do

Policies
2.1.1       The ANBG will manage the living collection to high curatorial standards in accordance with our curatorial framework, and develop the collection to display a representation of Australia's flora.
2.1.2       The ANBG will develop and implement and document best practice horticultural management based on scientific knowledge, on-site experimentation, sustainable horticultural practices and staff expertise. We will facilitate benchmarking of horticultural practices through botanic gardens industry groups such as the Council of Heads of Australian Botanic Gardens and Botanic Gardens Australia and New Zealand Incorporated.
2.1.3       Priorities for new collections and research will be informed by the shared priorities of the ANBG and CANBR, collaborative conservation and research programs, and relevant Australian Government policies and strategies.
2.1.4       The ANBG will protect the living collection from damage through documented integrated pest management programs.
2.1.5       The Director of National Parks may take, or issue permits to take, actions concerning native species (including species listed under Part 13 of the EPBC Act) that are otherwise prohibited by the EPBC Act where they are necessary to implement this plan or to preserve or protect the ANBG, protect or conserve biodiversity, or protect people or property.
2.1.6       Organisations and individuals may carry out research on and monitoring of the living collection, including taking actions covered by ss 354 and 354A and Part 13 of the EPBC Act either:
      in collaboration with the Director of National Parks, under an agreement
      in accordance with a permit issued by the Director of National Parks.

2.1.7       The ANBG will encourage and support relevant research and monitoring. Permits authorising research and monitoring will be issued in accordance with the requirements of the EPBC Regulations. The Director may authorise research and monitoring if the activity is consistent with this plan, including if the research and monitoring activity: will not threaten the conservation status of a species or ecological community; will not adversely impact upon the ANBG values; and whether the research activity can reasonably be done outside the ANBG.
