Normanby Island Reefs and Russell and Round Island Reefs - Frankland Islands Sector site plan 2006

Abstract

Site planning is an integral part of the implementation process for the Cairns Area Plan of Management 1998. Site planning is required at a number of Locations in the Cairns Area to provide for a balance of recreational and commercial access consistent with the protection of conservation, scientific and cultural values. Sites identified as requiring site plans include: Lizard Island Localities 2 and 3; Opal Reef; Tongue Reef; Agincourt Reefs; Hastings Locality 1; Briggs Reef; Norman Reef; Michaelmas Cay Locality; Upolu Cay Reef; Green Island Reef Locality 1; Flynn Reef; Milln Reef; Moore Reef Locality 2; Normanby Island Reef; Russell and Round Island Reefs. Site plans were approved for all the above locations between 1999-2001, except for Normanby Island Reefs (17-012a) and Russell and Round Islands Reefs (17-013), each within the Frankland Islands Sector. This site plan documents the management arrangements at these remaining sites and is publicly available on the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) website.
