Regional Parks Management Plan (RPMP) 2010

Volume 1: management policies

Volume 1 management policies consists of 17 parts. You can download the complete draft plan, or in sections.

However, please note that is important that sections of the plan are not read in isolation.  The generic policies outlined in parts 7 – 16 apply across the regional parks network and are not necessarily repeated in the specific park sections. For example, pest control is undertaken in each regional park and may not be listed as specific management action in part 17, as it is covered by the generic biosecurity policy in part 10.
