Board of Management
The Board of Management was established in 1985. Under Piṟanpa law (the EPBC Act), the Board must comprise of a majority of Indigenous people nominated by Nguraṟitja. At the time of this plan’s preparation the Board comprises eight Aṉangu members including the Chairperson (who by convention is Aṉangu); the Director of National Parks; a Minister for Tourism nominee; a Minister for the Environment nominee, and a Northern Territory Government nominee.
The Board operates under a set of rules approved by the Board, and its functions under the EPBC Act are outlined in section 2.1.1 of this plan. Two of these functions are, in conjunction with the Director, to prepare management plans for the park; and, to make decisions relating to the management of the park that are consistent with this management plan.
Figure 7 provides an example of how the Board and the Director worked together in a participatory manner to prepare this management plan.
