Parks Australia has established advisory committees for the Coral Sea Marine Park and the North, North-west, South-west, South-east, and Temperate East Marine Parks Networks.

The committees support the Director of National Parks to manage Australian Marine Parks across the 6 regions by:

  • Helping develop, deliver, monitor and evaluate marine park network implementation plans, including assisting prioritisation of management actions and development of performance measures.
  • Providing advice to identify and address key and emerging priorities, including engagement of First Nations in the management of Sea Country within marine parks; climate related impacts; factors arising from Australia’s energy transition; and ecosystem resilience and recovery.
  • Providing information on First Nations, stakeholder, partner and park user views, knowledge and needs.
  • Contributing to the review and evaluation of existing statutory management plans to inform the preparation of the next cycle of management plans.
