Kooloonbung Creek Plan of Management

Port Macquarie Hastings-Council is developing a Plan of Management for Kooloonbung Creek Nature Reserve. The previous plan was never formally adopted by the Minister for Lands and is now outdated.

What will the Plan of Management Cover?  The plan will consider six main themes of the nature reserve;  Flying foxes  Bush regeneration / urban weed invasion  Recreational values - boardwalk, open space  Educational values - arboretum, interpretive signage  Aboriginal and European-Heritage - historic cemetery, aboriginal significance  Bushfire and Ecological burns

How will the Plan of Management be developed?

Council has been successful in gaining funding for a consultant to complete the scientific study elements of the plan preparation. The consultant is working with Council's Natural Resources staff on the Plan Development which is expected to be completed around April 2012.

Council's Natural Resources Officer, Thor Aaso is coordinating the development of the Plan of Management. For information about community participation opportunities or the Plans' development please contact Thor on 6581 8111 or thor.aaso@pmhc.nsw.gov.au
