Who we are
Australia’s natural and cultural heritage is unique. Our land and seascapes are distinctive, home to plants and animals found nowhere else in the world, and to some of the oldest living cultures on earth. These environments and cultures are an essential part of our national identity, and visitors travel from across the country and the world to experience them.
The Director of National Parks (the Director) is responsible for six national parks, the Australian National Botanic Gardens, 58 Australian Marine Parks and the Heard Island and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. Parks Australia is the federal park agency that supports the Director, and they are a division of the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (the Department). We work to showcase these natural and cultural wonders to the world, demonstrating to all why these places are so special, and inspiring communities to become more invested in their care and future.
Booderee, UKTNP and Kakadu National Parks are owned by the Traditional Owners who have leased their land to the Director to manage as a national park under joint management arrangements. The joint management arrangements are underpinned by a legal framework that includes the Park Leases, Plan of Management and Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC).
Joint management is an ongoing learning process, and the relationship will adapt and transform as Traditional Owner aspiration and capacity change over time. Furthermore, the capacity and ability of Parks Australia to effectively operate in a collaborative arrangement with Traditional Owners requires ongoing support and development. The purpose of the Joint Management Section is to support the ongoing development of joint management processes across BNP, UKTNP and KNP.
