Queensland’s Protected Area Strategy 2020–2030.

Queensland’s Protected Area Strategy 2020–2030 is a ten-year plan for supporting the growth, better management and sustainability of the State’s protected areas, including national parks and private protected areas. The Strategy sets the strategic direction for protected areas in Queensland over the next 10 years through six key objectives, and three strategic priorities—Grow, Care and Connect—which are underpinned by six guiding principles.
Queensland’s Protected Area Strategy 2020–2030 will: improve conservation of biodiversity, including increased protection for threatened species, on protected areas through improved management and growth of the protected area system; create regional jobs through enabling growth and opportunities for the tourism and conservation sectors; increase resilience of protected areas to climate change through a connected landscape that provides refugia for native wildlife; support Connection to Country through genuine partnerships with First Nations peoples that removes barriers and supports First Nations peoples leadership in protecting and caring for Country; secure innovative funding streams to promote, effectively manage and sustainably grow the protected area system; deliver social, health, economic and cultural benefits to Queenslanders.
