The Australian Alps national parks are 12 Alpine parks and protected areas in South Eastern Australia that contain most of Australia's Alpine bio-region. They are: Lake Mountain, Baw Baw NP, Alpine NP, Avon Wilderness, Mt Buffalo NP, Snowy River NP, Kosciuszko NP, Bimberi Nature Reserve, Brindabella NP, Scabby Range, Namadgi NP and Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve., There is a memorandum of understanding between Victoria, NSW, the ACT and the Commonwealth which facilitates trans-border cooperative management of these areas. It was first signed in 1986 by ministers from each jurisdiction. A story of cooperation
In 1986, with the signing of the first Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), NSW, Victoria, ACT and Australian government national park authorities (ACT Parks and Conservation Service, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, Parks Victoria and Parks Australia) formally agreed the national parks in the Australian Alps should be managed cooperatively to protect the area’s special character. Through this spirit of cooperation the Australian Alps Liaison Committee (AALC) was formed to ensure that the parks and reserves in the Alps are managed as one biogeographical entity to protect them for generations to come. Respectful engagement
Many individuals and groups across the community have strong, passionate views about the best ways to manage the Australian Alps National Parks and conservation reserves. Community input and informed and respectful debate is always welcome. Unfortunately, in the past, some people have expressed views and opinions on Park management and conservation issues to Department staff in ways that are not respectful, productive or in line with acceptable community standards.
