What we're doing

Park management activities

Gundabooka National Park has management strategies in place to protect and conserve the values of this park. Visit the detailed park and fire management documents. Here is just some of the work we’re doing to conserve these values:

Preserving biodiversity

NPWS aims to protect the biodiversity of all parks. Gundabooka National Park is no exception. Pest control programs in place in Gundabooka protect its native plants and animals.

Managing weeds, pest animals and other threats

Pests and weeds are a significant threat to the ecosystems within Gundabooka National Park. Pest management is a priority for NPWS, and Supplementary Pest Control takes place in this park. Other pest management strategies, including goat management and risk assessment for new and emerging weeds, are delivered to reduce the ongoing threat to this park's biodiversity values.

Developing visitor facilities and experiences

NPWS strives to raise awareness of Gundabooka National Park’s natural and cultural values and their need for protection. The park encourages informed, sustainable visitor access through the provision of interpretive signage and other educational means. Significant sites are acknowledged, conserved and respected, and NPWS works with the community, local tourism bodies and councils in promoting and interpreting the park and its assets.

Conserving our Aboriginal culture

Gundabooka National Park boasts a proud legacy of Aboriginal culture. Aboriginal sites within the park are numerous and significant, and ongoing NPWS projects are in place to monitor their condition. Sites and facilities within the park are also carefully conserved as required.

Managing fire

NSW is one of the most bushfire prone areas in the world as a result of our climate, weather systems, vegetation and the rugged terrain. NPWS is committed to maintaining natural and cultural heritage values and minimising the likelihood and impact of bushfires via a strategic program of fire research, fire planning, hazard reduction, highly trained rapid response firefighting crews and community alerts.
