WTMA Strategic Plan

The WTMA Strategic Plan sets out the Wet Tropics Management Authority’s directions over the next five years. It identifies our contemporary mission, our goals and the associated objectives and actions that we will implement in coming years. The plan demonstrates the benefits we intend to create for our stakeholders: the Queensland and Australian Governments, our partner agencies and the Wet Tropics community.

The Strategic Plan outlines how the Authority will achieve its goals:

1. Heritage values of the Wet Tropics of Queensland are protected and maintained consistent with the World Heritage Convention and Australian and Queensland heritage legislation.
2. The community enjoys, supports and understands the values of the World Heritage Area and the importance of Wet Tropics environments, and is engaged in its conservation.
3. The well-being of Rainforest Aboriginal people is supported by their active role in the management of the Wet Tropics
   environment.
4. The Wet Tropics World Heritage Area is nationally and internationally recognised for the highest standards of protection, management, presentation and governance.
5. Development in the region is ecologically sustainable and supports the conservation of the World Heritage Area.
6. The Queensland and Australian Governments are well informed in making policy decisions about the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area and support WTMA.
7. WTMA demonstrates excellence in corporate governance and management.
