Protected areas of Australia |
The Protected areas of Australia are maintained by Parks Australia within Environment
Australia, with the exception of the Great Barrier
Reef, which is managed by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.
NOTE - this is only a small portion of the protected areas in Australia. Each state is responsible for the maintenance and
upkeep of the areas within its boundaries. Environment Australia is responsible only for the Commonwealth and off-shore parks in
the Australian Capital Territory, the
Northern Territory, the Christmas Island Territory, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Territory, the Norfolk Island Territory and the Australian Antarctic Territory.
