OVERVIEW

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) is a recognised world leader in marine environmental management with responsibility for managing one of the world's premier natural resources. The GBRMPA works in partnership with Commonwealth and Queensland Government agencies, such as Customs – Coastwatch, the Queensland Environment Protection Agency and the Queensland Fisheries Service, to undertake a wide range of functions to ensure that the conservation and World Heritage values of the Great Barrier Reef are preserved for future generations.

Field management of the Marine Park is implemented through day-to-day management programmes carried out in co-operation with Queensland government agencies.

The outcome of the GBRMPA's activities will be the protection, wise use, understanding and enjoyment of the Great Barrier Reef through the care and development of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

APPROPRIATIONS AND RESOURCING

The total appropriation for the GBRMPA in 2004-05 Budget is $23.394 million. This includes a special appropriation of $7.0 million which reflects the amount collected from the environmental management charge on permitted commercial operations within the Marine Park.

Table 1.1 shows the total appropriations for the GBRMPA for 2004-05 by the outcome, by price of output appropriation and other sources of revenue.
