Sydney Harbour National Park

What's next?

It’s been 5 months and the response to the on line forum as a means of expressing your views has been great. This has provided us with quite a bit of information to enable the preparation of a draft plan that can reflect the views of the community. You've told us what you think is important about the park and the issues that are of concern. Our task now is to research and develop our management position on specific issues and prepare the draft plan for further comment. In a few weeks time the internal draft will be ready for processing to allow for formal exhibition by June 2010. As issues arise in sections of the draft these will continue to be posted for comment. We may also archive sections of the current web page to the library for viewing.

Please continue to comment on any of our current or new discussions topics or if you want to create your own, now is your chance.

We would like to thank all our contributors and hope that you will continue to work with us and spread the word about the site and the wonderful Sydney Harbour National Park. Remember to add a post to one of our discussion forums and keep watching the website for regular updates.

The island has a complex character, with reminders of the harbour's indigenous landscape mixed with more than 40 buildings and structures dating from the 1830s to the 1960s.
