HAVE YOUR SAY ON THE FUTURE OF
ULURU -KATA TJUTA NATIONAL PARK
We’re looking for ideas to help us manage Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park beyond 2020. The current management plan for the park will cease to have effect on 8 January 2020.
The Uluru-Kata Tjuta Board of Management will soon commence drafting a new management plan for the park. When finalised, this plan will guide management of the park for a period of 10 years. The development of the next plan will be guided by the Board’s Vision and Goals for the park:
Vision: Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is a place where Anangu law and culture
is kept strong for future generations.
Goals: • To work and make effective decisions together as equals, using Anangu and Piranpa (non-Anangu) knowledge and skills.
• To protect and maintain strong Tjukurpa, culture and country.
• To build livelihoods and other benefits for Anangu, particularly young Anangu.
• To provide fulfilling experiences based on culture and nature that benefit Anangu, who welcome visitors as their guests.
And through this,
• To create one of the world’s great World Heritage Areas.
