Mount Seaview, Jasper and Koorebang Nature Reserves Plan of Management

A total of 28 different forest ecosystems have been identified in the reserves, which is a very high number of communities relative to the total area of the reserves and indicates their outstanding value and the importance for the protection of biodiversity. Due to the relatively low levels of disturbance and generally low fire frequency, the vegetation in the reserves is considered to be in a condition similar to that when the Hastings Valley was first settled by Europeans.

Mount Seaview Nature Reserve is part of the Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves of Australia World Heritage Area, and part of the Mount Seaview Wilderness. Jasper Nature Reserve and Mount Seaview Nature Reserve are also listed on the National Estate for their natural heritage values.

The New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 requires that a plan of management be prepared for each nature reserve. A plan of management is a legal document that outlines how a reserve will be managed in the years ahead.
