The Bendethera homestead precinct is an iconic example of a former pastoral homestead station with associated stock yards, gravesites and other remnants. The place is important culturally in terms of specific sites and as a cultural landscape of remote, cleared river flats.  

This conservation management plan (CMP) provides a conservation analysis and assessment of the pastoral history of Bendethera, including physical evidence and associated social values.

The plan helps guide the management of historic heritage assets within Deua National Park and provides a heritage significance assessment of the Bendethera homestead precinct and the adjacent cleared flat areas.

The plan also identifies cultural tourism and interpretation opportunities and issues and constraints that arise from these opportunities.
