Under the National Parks and Reserves Management Act 2002, the managing authority for any reserved land is to manage that land in accordance with an approved management plan and in a manner that gives effect to the objectives of the plan.
The Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Management Plan 1999 (the 1999 Plan) currently sets out the values, management objectives and key desired outcomes for activities in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.
The Tasmanian government has released a draft Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Management Plan 2015 (the 2015 Draft) for public comment. This paper briefly outlines some of the key changes proposed by the 2015 Draft and the process for finalising the review of the management plan.
