Overview

We are seeking your comments on the draft management plans for Christmas Island Marine Park and Cocos (Keeling) Islands Marine Park.

Comments will be considered before the management plans are finalised. Once completed, these plans will guide the management of these two parks for the following 10 years.

Before taking part in this consultation process, the Director of National Parks encourages you to review information about the stakeholder consultation process and science that informed the establishment of the marine parks in 2022 and the development of these draft management plans.

You can do this by visiting the following webpages:
