The park is contiguous with other major conservation areas including Blue Mountains National Park to the south, Goulburn River National Park to the north, Gardens of Stone National Park in the west and Yengo National Park and Parr State Recreation Area in the east.
Wollemi National Park, together with Blue Mountains National Park, Gardens of Stone National Park, Nattai National Park, Kanangra-Boyd National Park, Thirlmere Lakes National Park, Yengo National Park and Jenolan Karst Conservation Reserve, have been recently inscribed on the World Heritage List as the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area.
Important values of the park include:
- the spectacular wild and rugged scenery
- its geological heritage values
- its diversity of natural environments
- the occurrence of many threatened or restricted native plant and animal species including the Wollemi pine and the broad-headed snake
- significant plant communities
- the presence of a range of important Aboriginal sites and
- the park's historic places which are recognised for their regional and national significance.
The park offers excellent opportunities in conjunction with other conservation areas in the Sydney sandstone system for the conservation of evolutionary and ecological processes and for the provision of opportunities for solitude and self-reliant recreation. These values were recognised by the declaration of the Wollemi Wilderness Area in March 1999.
