This review of environmental factors has been prepared to assess the environmental impacts of the implementation of Stage 1 of the 2019 Kamay Botany Bay National Park Kurnell master plan.
Kamay Botany Bay National Park is a magnificent headland site that bounds the mouth of Botany Bay, Sydney. The Kurnell Precinct of Kamay Botany Bay National Park is located on the southern headland of Botany Bay.
Kamay Botany Bay National Park is located at La Perouse and Kurnell, in Sydney. It covers approximately 456 hectares of the northern and southern headlands of the entrance to Botany Bay, including 13 kilometres of spectacular coastline. It is significantly the site where the first encounter occurred between Aboriginal Australians and the crew of the Endeavour.
This conservation management plan for the La Perouse Headland within Botany Bay National Park addresses the whole of the La Perouse headland area, including Bare Island.
The Meeting Place Precinct in Kamay Botany Bay National Park, Kurnell, is a place of profound cultural and historical significance. It is a symbolic meeting place of cultures, from the first meeting between Captain James Cook and Aboriginal Australians, to later meetings involving people of differing nationalities and the seeds of a successful multicultural nation.
