Invitation to comment on Draft Joint Management Plans for West MacDonnell and Watarrka National Parks

You are invited to comment on the Draft Joint Management Plans for:
West MacDonnell (Tyurretye) National Park and
Watarrka National Park.
The West MacDonnell Ranges and Kings Canyon are well recognised symbols of the Territory’s outback. Located within Australia’s Red Centre National Landscape, these parks contribute significantly to biodiversity conservation, heritage and the Territory tourism economy.
These Draft Joint Management Plans are prepared in accordance with the 2005 amendments to the Territory Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act providing for joint management with Aboriginal Traditional Owners.
The focus on the plans is on shared decision-making between the joint management partners to achieve the legislated objectives of conserving natural and cultural values, providing for public enjoyment and ensuring the interests of Traditional Owners in relation to the Parks are pursued.
The Draft Plans can be viewed or downloaded from http://www.nt.gov.au/nretas/consult/
Submissions will be received until Friday 13th November 2009 and may be sent to parkplanning.nretas@nt.gov.au
