Environmental Protection Precinct
The Environmental Protection Precinct will comprise 575 hectares dedicated to the rehabilitation, ongoing maintenance, management and protection of the environment. This will include management and care of culturally significant sites as well as the island ecology.
The Environmental Protection Precinct will provide the following overall outcomes:
- Protect the ecological values and ecological function of the Environmental Protection Precinct;
- Rehabilitate areas within the Environmental Protection Precinct where the natural environment is degraded and requires enhancement; and
- Provide ecological education opportunities, including passive recreational walking trails for nature appreciation within the Environmental Protection Precinct where the ecological significance of the area is not negatively impacted by such activities.
