Management documents
You'll find a lot more information about this park in its management plans. In particular, plans of management contain a large amount of information on the natural environments, Aboriginal heritage, history, and recreational opportunities in a particular park. Fire management strategies outline when and how hazard reduction will be carried out in key areas of the park.
Many types of management plans go through a formal draft stage where they are open for public comment. The plans are only finalised and put into effect after all public submissions have been considered.

Royal National Parks and Environs Biodiversity Survey
You can help us to study and protect the park's native wildlife by joining this year-round program. Run by NPWS staff, the program aims to survey the animals in the park. By getting a clearer understanding of the Royal's environment, we can plan more effective conservation efforts in the future.

Revision of plan of management - stakeholder registration
The existing Plan of Management for Royal National Park, Heathcote National Park and Garawarra State Conservation Area was written in 2000 and is now due for revision. This revision will be undertaken by the Metro South West Region of the National Parks and Wildlife Service (part of NSW Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water, DECCW). If you are interested in what goes on in these reserves and how they are managed, you are invited to register as a stakeholder.
