Australian Marine Parks

The South-east Marine Parks Network Management Plan is currently being reviewed. The first consultation period on the design and future management of the South-east Network has now closed. Please visit the South-east Marine Parks Network page for more information.

Transitional management arrangements apply in Christmas Island Marine Park and Cocos (Keeling) Islands Marine Park until management plans for these marine parks are prepared and come into effect. Please visit the transitional management arrangements page for more information.

Management plans set out our approach to managing marine parks.

There are six management plans, one for each of the five marine park networks (the North, North-west, South-west, South-east and Temperate East networks) and one for the Coral Sea Marine Park.

Factsheets summarising the plans and setting out the zones and what activities are allowed in marine parks are available from the Resources and publications page.
