Objectives

The objectives for management of the park and botanic garden are:

• To identify, conserve and protect the natural and cultural values of the park and botanic garden
• To offer world class natural and cultural experiences, that improve understanding of the values of the reserves and enhance the Norfolk Island regional economy
• To base management and decision-making on a foundation of best available information, sound policies and practices, contemporary management approaches.

Values of the park and botanic garden, as described in the statement of significance on
page 4 of this plan, provide the basis and rationale for management of the reserves and underpin this plan’s objectives, policies and actions.

The management prescriptions in this plan contribute to achieving the objectives for the management of the park and botanic garden. These objectives support the purpose for which the reserves were declared and conservation of their natural and cultural values, ensuring they are managed consistently with their assigned International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) management categories.
