Philip Island Nature Park Management Plan
2006-2011
Purpose/Aim
The Phillip Island Nature Park is responsible for the conservation and protection of 1,805 hectares of land including the attractions of the famous Penguin Parade, Koala Reserve, Churchill Island and Cape Woolamai . The nature park set out to develop a comprehensive management plan for the period 2006-2011.
While excellent conservation outcomes have been achieved in the 2000-2005 period, the park is looking to adopt a broader sustainability focus and engaged the NCS to help shape their management plan for the following 5 years.

The Management Plan was also developed with input from critical stakeholders including staff, the local community and other external agencies. |
Project Status
The Management Plan was developed over the first half of 2006 with a view to launching the plan once approved. The Management Plan committee approved the draft Plan in August 2006, and after a thorough proofreading process, has been sent to Minister Hulls, Minister for Planning, for approval.
Expected Outcomes
The management plan was aligned to the Phillip Island Strategic Plan 2006-2011. A key strategic goal of the organisation is to ‘integrate environmental sustainability principles into all areas of our operation.'
