Namadgi National Park Plan of Management 2010 Summary NAMADGI NATIONAL PARK PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2010 SUMMARY Summary of the Namadgi National Park PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2010 Namadgi’s values Namadgi National Park is the largest conservation reserve in the ACT covering approximately 46% (106 095 ha) of the Territory. The park includes the rugged mountain ranges and broad grassy valleys in the western and southern parts of the ACT. Namadgi protects the Cotter River Catchment, Canberra’s main supply of water and is important for conserving biodiversity. The park’s snow gum woodlands, subalpine fens and bogs, grasslands and montane forest communities provide habitat for a diverse range of species. Namadgi has a rich heritage of human history with evidence of Aboriginal use of the land and remnants of early European pastoral activity. The park is popular for low key recreation including bushwalking, camping, cycling, rock climbing and abseiling. In addition, the Bimberi Wilderness provides a place of solitude for inspiration and wellbeing. Namadgi is one of eleven national parks and reserves in the Australian Alps that are collectively known as the Australian Alps national parks. These parks are managed cooperatively to provide protection for much of the alpine, subalpine and montane environments of mainland Australia. This summary of the Namadgi National Park Plan of Management 2010 provides a brief overview. For more comprehensive information please refer to the full plan of management.

The Namadgi National Park Plan of Management 2010 is a legal document which identifies the values of the park and how they can be protected. The plan provides guidance to the ACT Government’s park management agency and indicates to the ACT community and park visitors the primary objectives in managing the park. A review of the plan is required every ten years. ACT Legislative and Planning Framework Namadgi National Park is defined as Public Land under the Territory Plan (the key statutory planning Park zones document in the ACT) and the Planning and Management zones have been developed for Development Act 2007 requires that each area of Namadgi based on natural and cultural heritage reserved Public Land has a plan of management. The values. These are shown on the map on page 2. Key Act identifies the primary management objectives issues considered in developing the zones include: for Namadgi as: • the need to protect Canberra’s urban water Wilderness area supply 1. To conserve the natural environment in a • protection of biodiversity, ecological processes, manner ensuring that disturbance to that cultural heritage and scenic landscapes environment is minimal. • protection of areas that are highly ecologically 2. To provide for the use of the area (other than significant where threatened species, ecological by vehicles or other mechanised equipment) communities and geological features occur that for recreation by limited numbers of people, so are sensitive to disturbance as to ensure that opportunities for solitude are • protection of Namadgi’s ‘wilderness’ and provided. ‘remote areas’ values National park • the ACT legislative and planning framework. 1.

Management policies for each zone What is in the plan? are outlined in Table 1. Recreation policies for each zone are outlined in Table 2. The plan identifies objectives for management of the park’s values and includes background information that has been considered in developing policies and actions. Park values are addressed under: • Water • Natural Heritage • Cultural Heritage • Fire • Recreation • Learning • Community • A protected and managed resource.

    Dr Ian Mansergh, Dr Alan Newsome and Dr David Shorthouse Summary This report was commissioned by New South Wales (NSW) National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) as part of the brief to the Independent Scientific Committee (ISC) to examine the scientific significance and condition of attributes of the Kosciuszko National Park. The park’s diverse habitats support populations of about 300 native terrestrial (non-aquatic) vertebrate species - mostly Australian endemics - and an unknown number of invertebrate species. The Kosciuszko faunal assemblage is of national significance, and it makes a major contribution to an internationally significant environmental region that includes the adjacent Alpine National Park in Victoria and Namadgi National Park in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). Contribution to international significance · The total vertebrate biodiversity of Kosciuszko National Park compares very well with other (large) temperate montane/alpine national parks in North and South America, and is significant for the presence of representatives of all subclasses and infraclasses of mammals (Monotremata, Marsupialia and Eutheria). The high diversity of reptile species, especially above the snowline, is also notable. · Thirteen vertebrate taxa with populations in the park are listed as threatened or near threatened by the World Conservation Union (IUCN). · The international significance of the mountain pygmy-possum Burramys parvus and a variety of other features lends strength to the acceptance of the area under World Heritage criterion (i). If invertebrates - poorly known at present - are considered, criterion (iii), perhaps criterion (i), and the biodiversity representation aspects of (iv) would be met or exceeded. · Some long-term studies in the park are internationally important in helping to resolve global scientific-conservation questions, and the park is well placed to assist the international investigations into greenhouse climate change and its effects on biodiversity.

  • Impact of Observatory Visitor Centres on the Public's Understanding Of
    Publ. Astron. Soc. Aust., 2000, 17, 275–281 Impact of Observatory Visitor Centres on the Public’s Understanding of Astronomy Kimberly Burtnyk Manager of Evaluations, California Science Centre, 700 State Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90037, USA Received 1999 October 15, accepted 2000 September 4 Abstract: In recent years, formal astronomy education has become an issue of great interest. Indeed, some boards of education now officially include astronomy in their curricula. While formal astronomy education continues to gain attention, informal astronomy education for the general public has rarely been addressed. One valuable source of informal astronomy education is the observatory ‘visitor centre’. Observatories draw thousands of visitors each year, and as such represent a golden opportunity for the astronomical community to communicate directly with the public. This paper summarises an exploratory study of the cognitive and affective impacts of a visit to the visitor centres located at Mount Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories. Keywords: astronomy education—observatory visitor centres—informal education 1 Introduction Mount Stromlo Observatory is one of Australia’s Throughout history, astronomy has connected people oldest observatories.

EDUCATION RESOURCE TEACHER’S NOTES 1/7 teacher’s notes This is an education resource catering for the curriculum needs of students at Year 7 through 12, across New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria. The following snap- shots show the Australian Alps as an effective focus for study. • The alpine and sub-alpine terrain in Australia is extremely small, unique and highly valued as a water supply as well as for its environmental, cultural, historic and recrea- tional significance. • Most of the Australian Alps lie within national parks with state and federal governments working cooperatively to manage these reserves as one bio-geographical area. • Climate, landforms and soils vary as altitude increases and so create a variety of envi- ronments where different plants grow together in communities. These in turn provide habitats for a wide range of wildlife. Many of these plants and animals are found nowhere else in the world and some are considered threatened or endangered. • The Alps reflect a history of diverse uses and connections including Aboriginal occupation, European exploration, grazing, mining, timber saw milling, water harvesting, conservation, recreation and tourism. Retaining links with this past is an important part of managing the region.
