It is proposed that a new model be developed which provides for a consistent, cohesive and equitable approach, supporting joint management across the entire national park estate. The foundation for this model will be Aboriginal people holding title to the land – or jointly holding title – and providing a long-term lease at nominal rent back to the NSW Government for the ongoing management of that land as a national park.
