Armidale Arboretum - Plan of Management

Community Land is valued for its important role in the social, intellectual, spiritual and physical enrichment of residents, workers, and visitors to the Armidale Regional area. The intrinsic value of Community Land is also recognised, as is the important role the Land plays in biodiversity conservation and ecosystem function.

Community Land such as Parks, Sportsgrounds, General Community Use Land and Natural Areas play an important part in community identity, history and social structures.

Armidale Regional Council is responsible for a number of Community Land reserves including within regional and rural Landscapes consisting of Council-owned Land, Land managed by Council on behalf of Crown Lands NSW and Land devolved to Council.

This Plan of Management (“Plan of Management”) outlines how Armidale Regional Council proposes to manage Community Land pursuant to legislative requirements.

Pursuant to Section 36 of the LG Act, Council-owned land and land managed by Council that is classified as Community Land must have a Plan of Management.

The draft Plans have been developed to provide the necessary guidelines and framework for how all Community Land categorised as Park, Sportsground, General Community Use or Natural Area (Bushland, Wetland, Watercourse or Escarpment) within the Armidale Region Local Government area will be managed and activities authorised to be conducted on Community Land.
