Royal National Park is 15,087 hectares, Heathcote National Park is 2826 hectares, and Garawarra State Conservation Area is 999 hectares. They form part of a large network of national parks, government-owned lands (e.g. Department of Defence, Sydney Water), and reserves between the Great Dividing Range to the west and Australia’s eastern shoreline. The parks are vital in maintaining a network of conservation areas and providing wildlife corridors and habitat protection for numerous animal and plant species.

This planning document should be read in conjunction with the Royal National Park, Heathcote National Park and Garawarra State Conservation Area Plan of Management (2022).
