About the Plan
The Aboriginal traditional owners of Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park have looked after, and in turn been looked after by, the land for over one thousand generations. Aboriginal use of the land over that time is reflected throughout the Uluru - Kata Tjuta landscape, which is recognised as a World Heritage area of outstanding universal value. Many places in the Park are of enormous spiritual and cultural importance to the traditional owners. The Park also contains features such as Uluru and Kata Tjuta which have become major symbols of Australia. Acknowledgment of Uluru - Kata Tjuta as a cultural landscape is fundamental to the success of the joint management arrangement. The Park is managed in such a way that the rights, interests, skills and knowledge of the traditional owners are respected and integrated in all of the Park's management programs.
This fourth Plan of Management was prepared by the Uluru - Kata Tjuta Board of Management and the Director of National Parks, in accordance with the provisions of the National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 1975 under which the Park was established.
The National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 1975 was replaced by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 on 16 July 2000. The new Act also replaces the Environment Protection (Impact of Proposals) Act 1974, Endangered Species Protection Act 1992, and World Heritage properties Conservation Act 1983 which are relevant to the Park and this Plan. References to these Acts in this Plan of Management are to be read where necessary as including references to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
