Conclusions
WFG Act offers a new approach to National Park Management
Requires a more creative approach
Creates linkages between new/emerging areas
Develops a service more responsive to societal change & needs
Challenges traditional thinking – sections/services need to change!
Breaks down silos internally
Allows us to see the bigger picture
Creates new ‘organisational’ silos – PSBs
Requires transparent & strong leadership (along the chain)
Requires new partnerships
