### sec.21 Management principles of conservation parks
A conservation park is to be managed to—

provide for the permanent conservation of the area’s natural condition to the greatest possible extent; and
provide opportunities for educational and recreational activities in a way consistent with the area’s natural and cultural resources and values; and
ensure that any commercial use of the area’s natural resources, including fishing and grazing, is ecologically sustainable.
Subject to subsection (1) , a conservation park, or a part of a conservation park, that is also an Indigenous joint management area is to be managed, as far as practicable, in a way that is consistent with any Aboriginal tradition applicable to the area, including any tradition relating to activities in the area.
