KAKADU NATIONAL PARK - APPROVED PLANT LIST Kakadu National Park is a ‘Commonwealth reserve’ under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) and is inscribed on the World Heritage List for outstanding cultural and natural values. As part of Kakadu National Park, the use and development of the Town of Jabiru must not be detrimental to the values of the park. To protect Kakadu’s unique environment, Regulations 12.20 and 12.21 of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Regulations 2000 require that plants are not brought into Jabiru and cultivated or propagated unless they are included on the Approved Plant List. Approved plant species include a plant species that is: a) A native species of Kakadu National Park; or b) Specified on the Approved Plant List maintained by the Director of National Parks. All plants brought into Jabiru for domestic or commercial area gardens should be an approved plant species. The preferred option is to use species that are native to Kakadu. For information on these species please refer to the book Native Plants for Top End Gardens (2007 Smith). The approved plant species that are non-indigenous to Kakadu are those that are understood to not have the potential to spread into the park. The approved non-indigenous species may not necessarily be well-suited to the growing conditions in Jabiru. By using only approved plant species you will help to avoid potential biosecurity threats to the environmental values of Kakadu National Park. Please be aware that any gardening material brought into Jabiru provides an entry pathway for exotic ants, myrtle rust and other plant viruses and pathogens into the park. All plants brought into the park should be healthy and treated with insecticide 24 hours before entry into the park. If you do find ants in a new pot plant from outside the park please contact Park Headquarters on phone 08 8938 1100. Further information on bringing plants, animals and other materials into the park is available in Section 10.13 of the KNP Management Plan 2016-2026 http://www.environment.gov.au/resource/kakadu-national-park-management-plan-2016-2026 Updated April 2019 Page 1 of 5 Kakadu National Park Approved Plant List 1.
