Revision of Plan of Management Commenced
The existing Plan of Management for Royal National Park, Heathcote National Park and Garawarra State Conservation Area was written in 2000 and is now being revised. This is an important opportunity to talk about how these Reserves are managed and their significance to you and your community. Understanding this will assist us in determining priorities for future management. A copy of the current plan is located in the Library.

Dog Walking

Comments

Dogs are currently not allowed in National Parks. They offer one of the few public open areas free from dogs. Many dog owners would like to be able to walk their dogs in the National Park. How would you feel about this?

Have you read the article in the library? The results argue against access by dog walkers to sensitive conservation areas.

Do you have a comment to make?

Reliable Ferry Serive to Shark Island

Comments
1

Would be good if there was a reliable service on Weekends so that we could visit the island.

Attempted to visit today with visitors who had driven all the way in from Blue Mountains only to find out at circular quay that Matilda were not running services today Saturday 27 Feb. as they had hired out their ferries.

I'm sure the public would appreciate a reliable service to the harbour islands.
