General
As the overarching management document for the Park, the Wellington Park Management Plan 2005 provides background to a range of topics related to Park management. The plan contains management objectives, policies and actions that further the purposes for which the Park is reserved under the Wellington Park Act 1993, namely:
(a) the provision of recreational and tourism uses and opportunities consistent with the purposes specified in paragraphs (b) to (e);
(b) the preservation or protection of the fauna or flora contained in or on the land;
(c) the preservation or protection of the natural beauty of the land or of any features of the land of natural beauty or scenic interest;
(d) the preservation or protection of any features of the land being features of historical, Aboriginal, archaeological, scientific, architectural or geomorphological interest;
(e) the protection of the water catchment values of the land.
The Management Plan is in six parts:
- Part 1 sets out the Plan framework including a description of its origins and structure, a summary of the 5-year review process, and definitions for some of the terminology used;
- Part 2 defines the values and significance of the Park, sets out the goals and objectives for management and designates zoning;
- Part 3 includes policies and actions relating to tourism and recreation, considering promotion, management, development, interpretation and education;
- Part 4 details the protection and management of the water supply and the management of other uses in the Park;
- Part 5 considers maintaining Park values and includes recommendations for achieving the objectives; and
- Part 6 details objectives and recommendations for administration, including organisational structure and management procedures necessary to effectively manage the Park.
