Background
The Botanic Garden, which covers an area of 5.5ha adjacent to, but separate from, the Park is managed by Parks Australia staff with the assistance of contract staff and casual labour. The Botanic Garden is located on Mission Road, near the Mt Pitt Road entrance to the Park. In 1993, a further 4.9ha of sub-tropical vine-rainforest was added to the original 0.6ha Botanic Garden, bringing the total area of the Botanic Garden to 5.5ha (Map 6).
Under the World Conservation Union (IUCN) Protected Area Management Categories, the Norfolk Island Botanic Garden is a Category IV area (managed mainly for conservation through management intervention).
