Everything about National Parks Of Australia totally explained
Protected areas of Australia include Commonwealth and off-shore
protected areas managed by the Australian government, as well as protected areas within each of the six states of
Australia and two self-governing territories (Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory), which are managed by the eight state and territory governments.
Commonwealth and off-shore protected areas in the
Australian Capital Territory, the
Northern Territory, the
Christmas Island Territory, the
Cocos (Keeling) Islands Territory, the
Norfolk Island Territory and the
Australian Antarctic Territory are managed by
Parks Australia, a division of the
Department of the Environment and Water Resources, with the exception of the
Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, which is managed by the
Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, a separate body within the department.
Protected areas cover 895,288 km² of Australia's land area, or about 11.5% of the total land Area. Of these, two-thirds are considered strictly protected (
IUCN categories I to IV), and the rest is mostly managed resources protected area (IUCN category VI).
Protected areas managed at state or territory level
Protected areas managed by the Australian government
The following list shows only the Commonwealth and off-shore protected areas that are managed by the Australian government; a small portion of all the protected areas of Australia. Each state and territory is responsible for the management of the state and territory protected areas under its jurisdiction. This doesn't include the Commonwealth areas listed below, some of which (for example Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park) are inside state and territory boundaries. Most Australian "national" parks are managed by the state and territory governments.
