This conservation management plan (CMP) forms the basis for the overall strategic management of the Bantry Bay Explosives Magazine complex to facilitate its long term conservation and future use in line with the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) management objectives.
The NPWS is legislatively responsible for environmental land management and conservation of places of natural and cultural heritage value. The NPWS has managed the Bantry Bay Explosives Magazine complex since its closure in 1974.
The CMP articulates the philosophy and sets out short, medium and long term conservation management outcomes for the Bantry Bay Explosives Magazine complex. As such the CMP sets parameters that identify opportunities and constraints to guide the introduction of compatible adaptive reuse of the site, buildings and landscape.
The CMP also addresses interpretation, archaeological management, cultural landscape, development control and design guidelines, species management and natural landscape management.
