Management Plans

Management plans are vital for the protection, conservation and presentation of values. They incorporate legislative requirements with scientific and community information, interests and concerns, and provide a way forward for the management of the World Heritage Area.

Several plans are in place to address the protection and management of Shark Bay’s World Heritage values and conservation reserves:

• Shark Bay Terrestrial Reserves and Proposed Reserve Additions Management Plan 2012
• Shark Bay Marine Reserves Management Plan 1996–2006
• Shark Bay World Heritage Property Strategic Plan 2008-2020
• Shire of Shark Bay Town Planning Scheme No. 4
