Castlemaine-Diggings-National-Heritage-Park-Management-Plan

Introduction
• Additional areas included in the Special
Protection Area Overlays – Cultural and
Natural Values, particularly for the
protection of threatened species and their
habitats (table 1, figure 2).
• Removal of the proposed 10 metre
prospecting exclusion from walking tracks
in the park, with this exclusion being
limited to exclusion of prospecting on
roads and tracks listed in tables 3 and 5.
• Clarification that the 50 metre prospecting
exclusion is from both sides of the walking
tracks at several heritage places listed in
table 1 to protect heritage places and
landscapes from damage by prospecting
disturbance.
• Inclusion of additional information relating
to the Loddon River and threatened
species.
• Enhancement of strategies relating to
strengthening relationships with
community groups including cycling
groups, and recognition of other
community groups.
This Management Plan will direct future
management of Castlemaine Diggings
National Heritage Park, until reviewed
(sections 9.2 and 9.3).
