La Perouse Headland - conservation management plan - stages 1 and 2

This report is the second stage in the preparation of a Conservation Management Plan (CMP) for the La Perouse Headland, within Botany Bay National Park. This stage of the preparation of a conservation management plan addresses the whole of the La Perouse headland area including Bare Island.

This report builds on numerous previous studies of the headland including the La Perouse Headland - A Shared History (2006) prepared by Dan Tuck, which is a companion volume to this report. This report also includes preliminary consideration of the findings of the Draft Social Values Assessment of the La Perouse Headland prepared as a separate study by Context (2008). 

Stage 1 of the CMP preparation is limited in scope to the consideration of the significance values of:

  • the Macquarie Watchtower
  • the Cable Station (containing the La Perouse Museum)
  • the La Perouse Monument
  • the Pere Receveur Tomb, and
  • associated Aboriginal and Archaeological sites.
