Northern Lofty Woodland Parks Draft Management Plan
Share your feedback on how several parks in the Northern Lofty area will be managed into the future.
What's being decided?
We have developed the Northern Lofty Woodland Parks Draft Management Plan to outline the objectives and strategies that will set the direction for the long-term management of the following conservation parks:
- Sandy Creek
- Cromer
- Charleston
- Warren
- Hale
- Wiljani
- Cudlee Creek
We are seeking community feedback on the draft plan.
Once adopted, this plan will be the first adopted 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.
