PREFACE The Serpentine National Park is a component of the Darling Range Regional Park. The Darling Range Regional Park Management Plan, when it is approved, will be an “umbrella” document co-ordinating existing and future planning for the Darling Range Regional Park. Implementation of the Serpentine National Park Management Plan will be consistent with the overall direction of the Darling Range Regional Park Management Plan. National parks, conservation parks, and nature reserves in Western Australia are vested with the National Parks and Nature Conservation Authority (NPNCA). State forest and timber reserves are vested with the Lands and Forest Commission (LFC). The lands and waters vested with the NPNCA and LFC are managed on their behalf by the Department of Conservation and Land Management. The NPNCA and LFC are required to prepare management plans for the lands and waters under their vesting and these are prepared by the Department of Conservation and Land Management. Management plans set out strategies and guidelines for management for a maximum period of ten years or until such time that the plan is superseded by a new management plan. The CALM Act (1984) specifies that management plans shall contain: a) a statement of the policies or guidelines proposed to be followed; and b) a summary of operations proposed to be undertaken. This plan complements the Northern Forest Region Regional Management Plan (CALM 1987) and the Forest Management Plan (CALM 1994). National park management provides for the public’s recreation needs as long as those needs are consistent with retaining the Park’s conservation and other values. The purpose of State Forest covered by this management plan is to achieve the purposes of conservation, recreation and timber production. Inclusion of a name on the maps or within the text of this Plan does not necessarily imply approval of the name by the relevant nomenclature body. i
