Description

Made available via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT)., The purpose of this management plan is to set a framework for monitoring and managing the Plateau that will hopefully prove useful for coordinating fire management and monitoring its success. A few of the techniques recommended, particularly increased emphasis on walking, and the introduction of fire suppression, have been talked about but perhaps not emphasized enough in the past. Integrating management of the Plateau as a whole unit rather than by district is an important development of this plan, to be sure. However, the overall strategy for managing the Plateau is not new, and has been within the collective wisdom of Park rangers and managers for at least the past decade. p. i,
