Looking After

How we work to look after the National Park, conservation, ranger services, biodiversity and policies.

Corporate Objectives 2010/11-2012/13

The following corporate objectives represent the National Park Authority’s proposed contribution to achieving National Park Management Plan (NPMP) outcomes over the next 1-3 year period.

This is intended to be a three year rolling plan with a specific focus for our work given for the forthcoming year.

Achieving sustainability is a cross cutting theme across all the objectives and many of the corporate objectives work together to achieve NPMP outcomes. However, for the purpose of corporate and service planning and ease of reading, the objectives are presented separately against a specific NPMP outcome.

Priority One is the highest level action.
