Protected areas (PAs) in NSW provide a wide range of benefits to individuals, private firms, and the community in general, including benefits from the direct and flow-on effects of expenditure made by the park management agency and by park visitors in the region, benefits from the biophysical functions provided by ecosystems and processes protected within PAs, and benefits in terms of improved quality of life for members of communities. These benefits are described in this section (Section 1) of the report.
