Willandra Lakes Region consultation

Overview

What’s this about?

This draft framework sets out the proposed management system for the Willandra Lakes Region World Heritage property in far south-west NSW.

Located on the traditional lands of the Barkandji/Paakantyi, Mutthi Mutthi and Ngiyampaa peoples, this property is internationally recognised for its Outstanding Universal Value and conserves important natural ecosystems, cultural heritage and community values.

The draft framework provides high level strategic guidance that sits above individual plans and agreements to ensure consistency across the entire World Heritage property. It sets out how the whole of the Willandra Lakes Region World Heritage Property will be protected, managed and monitored over the next 10 years. It includes updated management practices and priorities along with consultation requirements for conducting projects within the World Heritage property.

The draft framework will replace the former 1996 Sustaining the Willandra plan of management as the main document used to manage the property.
