Our Mission To conserve and enhance the Nature Park environment for current and future generations whilst achieving a balanced environmental, economic and social outcome.
Our Vision ‘To be a world leader in environmental, economic and socially sustainable nature based and ecotourism experiences’
Created by the State Government in 1996, it is the only ‘Nature Park’ in Victoria. The term means that all conservation areas are managed under the Crown Land (Reserves) Act 1978. The Nature Park is managed by a Board of Management that is appointed by the Minister responsible for the Crown Land (Reserves) Act 1978.
The Nature Park is home to unique wildlife and spectacular coastal scenery - protected and managed by quality environmental and research programs. The area that the Nature Park manages is over 1,805 hectares and includes diverse environments and habitats for a range of flora and fauna including threatened species. We acknowledge that the Nature Park is part of the traditional lands of the Bunurong Aboriginal people.
