These parks conserve all the habitats and plants, animals and other life found within them. They are also there for our enjoyment, recreation, education and scientific research, keeping the estuaries and oceans of NSW healthy and productive into the future.
The NSW Government is developing a network management plan for the five mainland marine parks using a new planning approach.
Stage 1 of the community consultation program ran from 1 November 2021 - 31 January 2022 to help finalise this plan. Opportunities to contribute to Stage 1 are now closed.
A new approach to evidence-based marine park management conserves not just environmental, but also social, cultural and economic values of marine parks, while reducing threats to those values. What we decide now will inform how we make decisions and manage these parks over the next 10 years.
Consultation on the Draft NSW Mainland Marine Park Network Management Plan is now closed.
