Upper Eyre Hills and Mallee Parks Draft Management Plan
Have your say on a draft management plan for the parks of the Upper Eyre Hills and Mallee Parks area.
What's being decided?
We have developed the Upper Eyre Hills and Mallee Parks Draft Management Plan that will set the direction for the long-term management of the following conservation parks:
- Middlecamp Hills
- Yeldulknie
- Rudall
- Carappee Hill
- Caralue Bluff
- Darke Range
We are seeking community feedback on the draft plan.
Once adopted, this plan will be the first management plan for each of the parks.
Background
Park management plans are the primary public accountability document for each of South Australia’s parks. Management plans set strategic direction and explain how parks are managed.
The management direction, objectives, and strategies outlined in this plan have been developed by the Department for Environment and Water with input from key stakeholders, park managers and technical experts.
The parks in this plan have similar ecological and geographic features and are subject to the same range of issues. Establishing one management plan supports a consistent approach to biodiversity conservation and public visitation across these parks.
