The Myall Lakes National Park, Little Broughton Island and Stormpetrel Island Nature Reserves Plan of Management was adopted by the Minister for the Environment on 2 October 2002. Since this date, a number of additions have occurred to Myall Lakes National Park. This amendment addresses management issues and actions for the land additions around Seal Rocks and for three smaller property additions.
Broughton Island, which was gazetted as part of Myall Lakes National Park in 1972, is a 114 hectare island that lies approximately 3 kilometres offshore from Dark Point and 16 kilometres north-east of the entrance to Port Stephens.
The planning area includes Myall Lakes National Park and the offshore Myall Coast Reserves. Myall Lakes National Park is over 44,000 hectares in size and is about 50 kilometres north of Newcastle and 30 kilometres south of Forster.
This fire management strategy incorporates Myall Lakes National Park, Corrie Island, John Gould, Little Broughton Island, Boondelbah, Stormpetrel and Seal Rocks nature reserves.
