Plan of Management History
A series of Plans of Management have consolidated information about Rookwood and its users. Successive authors have attempted to establish how the various values of the reserve should be managed.
Apart from the five organisations operating within it, there is a significant number of other groups and statutory authorities involved in Rookwood and its future. The extent of this interest is not surprising; more than one million people visit Rookwood annually.

Each contains policies that reflect the priorities unique to that area. The Minister’s letter clarified the status of the Management Unit Policy document by saying that it may be regarded as a supporting document that can be amended over time. the Minister wrote to the Chair
