PREFACE
This management plan is a management agreement between the Executive Director of theDepartment of Conservation and Land Management and the Shire of Exmouth in whom thecoastal areas of Jurabi and Bundegi are jointly vested. With regard to the Muiron Islands,which are jointly vested in the National Parks and Nature Conservation Authority and theShire of Exmouth, this document in its final form will become a management plan under theConservation and Land Management Act, 1984.
Reserves in the vicinity of the Cape Range Peninsula - Cape Range National Park, NingalooMarine Park, Jurabi and Bundegi Coastal Parks and the Muiron Islands - are currentlymanaged as an integrated unit. This document complements management plans prepared forCape Range National Park and Ningaloo Marine Park.
This management plan involves a summary of the area’s resources, the user pressures placedupon them and outlines goals and objectives to guide the development and management ofthe reserves.
NOMENCLATURE
Inclusion of a name on the maps or in the text of this plan does not necessarily imply itsapproval by the relevant nomenclature authority.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This management plan was prepared by members of a Shire of Exmouth/CALM sub-committee comprising:
Cr L. A. Williams C. Muller (CALM)Cr L. Horak D. Myers (CALM)Cr D. Richards N. Scott (CALM)
The late Cr F. E. Keenan (Deputy Shire President) was formerly a member of the committee.

KEY STRATEGIES
Nature reserves are managed for wildlife and landscape conservation, scientific study andpreservation of features of archaeological, historic or scientific interest. The key strategiesfor the Jurabi and Bundegi Coastal Parks and Muiron Islands Management Plan are listedbelow.
TENURE AND BOUNDARIES• Continue efforts to have the coastal portion of Location 44 added to Jurabi and Bundegi
Coastal Parks. This includes land between the Prohibited Area fence and low water markbut excludes the area extending 400 metres on either side of the Navy pier.
GEOLOGY AND LANDSCAPE• Locate and design recreation sites and access between sites to minimise their impact.
FLORA AND FAUNA• Provide opportunities for visitors to increase their knowledge and appreciation of the
area’s flora and fauna.• Guide or restrict public access and wildlife interaction where necessary so that
conservation values are protected.• Promote the importance of the conservation values of marine and terrestrial fauna
particularly with regard to turtle activities within the Jurabi area.
CULTURAL RESOURCES• Establish a management committee with equal representation from CALM and the
Exmouth Shire to facilitate ongoing management and to discuss matters of cultural interestand interpretation and field study activities and programs.
ACCESS• Restrict vehicle access to authorised roads and tracks and revegetate unnecessary roads or
tracks.
SIGNS AND DAY-USE FACILITIES• Require that approval for the construction of any structures or facilities is obtained from
the Shire of Exmouth and CALM and from the NPNCA in the case of Muiron Islands.
CAMPING• Prohibit camping in Bundegi Coastal Park.• Prohibit camping in the Jurabi Coastal Park except in designated areas.• Permit informal camping in the designated areas for a maximum of three nights, subject to
annual review.• Permit camping in the recreation zone on the Muiron Islands with the written approval of
the Shire of Exmouth and CALM, with appropriate conditions to protect the environment.
DOMESTIC ANIMALS• Inform visitors why dogs are permitted, except in specified coastal areas and the Muiron
Islands.
OPEN FIRES• Prohibit the use of open fires on the Muiron Islands.
RECREATIONAL RIDING• Require all commercial horse or camel operations to be conducted through a commercial
license with strict hygiene conditions.
INFORMATION, INTERPRETATION AND EDUCATION• Integrate interpretation and education programs with those for Cape Range National Park
iii
and Ningaloo Marine Park and liaise closely with groups such as tourism agencies,schools and museums.
• Promote the development of a turtle interpretation centre within the Jurabi Coastal Park.
FUNDING AND MANAGEMENT• Integrate management and investigate cooperative means of implementing and enforcing
management plan strategies.
EDUCATION AND REVIEW• Monitor the implementation of this plan through the Management Committee and through
the standard monitoring procedures adopted by the NPNCA.

INTRODUCTION
1. BACKGROUND
Jurabi Coastal Park (Reserve 40729,1287.4ha) lies on the western side of the CapeRange peninsula, and west of the Yardie CreekRoad extending from the northern boundary ofthe Cape Range National Park north to theCommonwealth land (Lyndon Location 44,Defence Purposes).
Bundegi Coastal Park (Reserve 40728,462.1ha) lies on the east side of Cape RangePeninsula and east of Murat Road betweenareas of Commonwealth land (Lyndon Location43 and 44, Defence Purposes).
The Muiron Islands Reserve (Reserve 31775,988ha), consists of two islands locatedapproximately sixteen kilometres north east ofPoint Murat.
Jurabi and Bundegi Coastal Parks are jointlyvested in the Shire of Exmouth and Departmentof Conservation and Land Management. TheMuiron Islands are vested in the NPNCA andthe Shire of Exmouth (see Map 1). Althoughthe vestings differ, these reserves are all jointlymanaged CALM and the Shire of Exmouth.
2. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN THEDRAFT PLAN
Community Input• Public submissions were invited through State
and local newspapers during the Draft Plan'spreparation.
• Interested individuals and groups discussedtheir concerns with the ManagementCommittee.
• Local and State government officers wereconsulted.
• The Draft Plan was released for a 2 monthperiod and public submissions invited.
Nineteen public submissions were receivedduring the public comment period of the draftmanagement plan. All comments were givencareful consideration and incorporated into thisplan where appropriate (see Analysis of PublicSubmissions). The main issues arising frompublic submissions included the impact ofvisitation pressure on the area (especiallyimportant coastal areas and turtle nesting sites),unauthorised vehicle access throughout thenature reserves and the need to upgrade theJurabi and Bundegi Coastal Parks to Class Areserves and the Muiron Islands to a Class Anature reserve.

3. MANAGEMENTARRANGEMENTS
It is recommended that a managementcommittee for the reserves be establishedcomprised initially of three representativesof the Shire of Exmouth and threerepresentatives of CALM. The committeewill meet every three months with the chairalternating between the two parties eachmeeting. Decisions will be taken by vote ofrepresentatives present with acceptance by asimple majority. In the event of a tiedsituation occurring, the chairman will have acasting vote in addition to his deliberatevote. Variations on these procedures may bemade with mutual agreement of both CALMand the Shire of Exmouth.
Proposals for development should beconsidered by this committee. Anyproposed leasing of land will have to meetwith approval from both the Shire ofExmouth and CALM (and the NPNCA inthe case of the Muiron Islands). Anyrevenue generated from the leasing of landor any other commercial concessions will beused for the maintenance and developmentof facilities in the reserve system asdetermined by the management committeein accordance with the objectives of themanagement plan.
The reserves will be jointly managed byboth Shire of Exmouth and CALMpersonnel. CALM staff will be appointedhonorary Shire Rangers so they can enforceby-laws in these reserves. It will also benecessary to empower both groups ofpersonnel to levy agreed fiscal penalties forbreaches of rules within management areaboundaries.
4. MANAGEMENT POLICIES ANDGOALS
This management plan in its final form willbe a statutory document under the CALMAct where vesting is partly or wholly withthe National Parks and Nature ConservationAuthority. CALM will be further guided bypolicies and protection powers under theWildlife Conservation Act 1950.
Management goals for these reserves are:
ConservationConserve biological, physical, cultural andlandscape values.
RecreationFacilitate public enjoyment of natural andcultural values in a manner compatible withconservation and other goals.
Community RelationsPromote awareness, appreciation andunderstanding of natural and cultural valuesin conjunction with interested agencies andorganisations and facilitate liaison with thecommunity.
Commercial UsesEnsure that commercial uses are controlledand managed in a manner that minimisesimpact on other values.
KnowledgeSeek a better understanding of the naturaland cultural environment and the impacts ofmanagement activities.
Goals represent the 'long-term desirablesituation' while more specific objectives aredesigned to achieve these goals.
Objectives, background and strategies areset for each of the following sections of thismanagement document
5. ZONING
The objective is to develop and implementa zoning system on which protection ofthe area's conservation values anddevelopment of recreation and compatibleuses can be based.
A zoning system will be implemented tominimise conflicts between uses, provideenvironmental protection, and guidemanagement.
Two zones are proposed (see Map 2):1. Recreation2. Special Conservation
Principal Management Directions
4
In the recreation zone motorised andpedestrian access will be permitted indefined areas linking recreational sites andfacilities. Parking areas and facilities maybe provided.
In the special conservation zone access anduse will be strictly controlled or may beprohibited altogether.
STRATEGIES
1. Introduce a zoning scheme to managethe reserves.
2. Review the zoning scheme if more
information on conservation valuesand possible impacts becomesavailable.

6. CULTURAL RESOURCES
The objective is to protect and conservethe area's cultural heritage and culturalresources.
There are a number of sites in the area, butnone known on the reserves.
Of the number of shipwrecks along thecoastline of the Ningaloo Reef area only oneis located adjacent to the study area. Theiron steamship "Mildura" was wrecked offthe North West Cape in 1902. This wreck isa tourist attraction and visible from eitherthe shore or the ocean.
The “Fairy Queen” is a smaller wrecklocated near the Navy pier, not visible fromabove water level and is frequently coveredwith sand.
Whilst there are no recorded Aboriginal orarchaeological sites within these reserves,evidence of aboriginal occupation and usageof the nearby coastal plain has beenrecorded in 5 separate sites. This is notnecessarily a complete list of all sites as thearea has not been subject to acomprehensive survey.
The sites identified vary greatly in contentand significance from ethnographic siteswith ceremonial or mythological importanceto archaeological sites with structures orscatters of articles and shell materials.
Bunburi Cave is a tourist attraction andcontains Aboriginal engravings and a semipermanent pool of fresh water. The site alsocontains stone artefacts and shell materialand is considered by the Aboriginal AffairsDepartment to most likely contain asignificant archaeological deposit.
The Aboriginal Affairs Department alsoadvises that a number of rock shelters existin the vicinity of Vlamingh HeadLighthouse.
Any development project proposed for thestudy area must undertake a survey of theproposed development area to identifyAboriginal sites. Such a study should beundertaken prior to consideration ofdevelopment plans.
STRATEGIES
1. Establish a management committeewith equal representation fromCALM and the Exmouth Shire tofacilitate ongoing management and todiscuss matters of cultural interestinterpretation, and field studyactivities and programs.
2. Liaise with local Aboriginal people
and require that a survey to identifyAboriginal sites is undertaken prior toconsideration of any developmentplans.
7. MINING AND PETROLEUM
The objective is to protect the natural andcultural values of these reserves from anyadverse impacts arising from explorationand resource extraction.
Should interest in mineral or petroleumresource potential occur, proposals will besubject to environmental assessmentprocedures in accordance with relevantlegislation and Government policy.
STRATEGIES
1. In accordance with Governmentpolicy, require proponent companiesto carry out a comprehensiveassessment of biological values,mineral and petroleum prospectivityand potential risk to conservation andrecreation values in regard to theproposal.
2. Maintain liaison between, the mineral
and petroleum industries, theDepartment of Minerals and Energy,the Department of EnvironmentalProtection, the Shire of Exmouth andCALM to ensure that adequateconditions are set and followed tominimise any potential detrimentaleffects that might be caused to thereserves as a result of any mineral orpetroleum exploration or production.

8. FIRE MANAGEMENT
The objective is to protect people,property and conservation values in andnear the reserves.
Values at risk include infrastructure such asfacilities and visitors to the area as well asplants and animals and their habitat. Anyfire management program must maintainhigh species diversity and protect people andproperty (see Map 3).
STRATEGIES
1. Use prescribed burning to reduce fuelswhere required to protect people,property and conservation valuesfrom wildfires.
2. Use fire where necessary to regenerate
key species for conservation. 3. Ensure any burning carried out is in
accord with a written prescriptionapproved by the CALM DistrictManager.

JURABI AND BUNDEGI COASTAL PARKSCONSERVATION AND RECREATION
9. TENURE AND BOUNDARIES
The objective is to ensure that the valuesof the Reserves are protected by securityof tenure and their gazetted purpose.
The Jurabi (reserve 40729) and Bundegi(reserve 40728) Coastal Parks are jointlyvested in the Shire of Exmouth and theExecutive Director of Conservation andLand Management as reserves with purposeof Recreation and Coastal Management.
Jurabi Coastal Park extends to the highwater mark, where it adjoins the NingalooMarine Park. Inland it is bounded by YardieCreek Road, adjoined predominantly byvacant Crown land with the followingexceptions:
• on the south-east boundary an area isheld under lease for tourism purposes(Yardie Homestead).
• At Vlamingh Head there is a node offreehold properties containing a caravanpark and an area of land recentlyreleased by the Exmouth Shire Councilfor development of tourist facilities.
• The Vlamingh Head Lighthouse area isvested in the Shire of Exmouth.
• Reserve 31637 has been cancelled andincluded in the Jurabi Coastal Park.Two private leases were previously heldin the Tantabiddi area from the Shire ofExmouth and the Executive Director ofthe Department of Conservation andLand Management. Both of the leaseshave now expired. Proposals for leaseswill be considered by the managingbodies in accordance with the purpose ofthe parks. A lease will only be grantedfollowing a public advertising andexpressions of interest process.
Bundegi Coastal Park is bounded on thewest by Murat Road, and extends in the eastto high water mark. Most of the seawardboundary adjoins Ningaloo Marine Park,which extends to the southern extremity ofthe Bundegi Reef.
Proposed Addition to Coastal Parks
It is proposed to add to the reserve systeman area of coastal foreshore between Jurabiand Bundegi Coastal Parks. This is withinLyndon Location 44, currentlyCommonwealth land. The Shire ofExmouth and CALM will continuenegotiations with the Department ofDefence which manages Location 44.Public access along this coastal strip isgenerally allowed except for a fencedprohibited inland area and an area near PointMurat 400 metres either side of a Navywharf facility (see Map 4).
STRATEGIES
1. Continue efforts to have the coastalportion of Location 44 added toJurabi and Bundegi Coastal Parks.This includes land between theProhibited Area fence and low watermark but excludes the area extending400 metres on either side of the Navypier.
2. Recommend upgrading the Jurabi
and Bundegi Coastal Parks to Class Areserves in recognition of theirconservation values.
3. Consider leases consistent with the
purpose of the reserve. Any proposalsfor leases will be publicly advertised.

10. GEOLOGY AND LANDSCAPE
The objective is to protect and conservegeological features and landscape values.
Most of the Jurabi Coast from Tantabiddi toVlamingh Head has a relatively narrowfringe of Holocene sandy sediments whichcomprise one or two major dune ridges andthe active beach systems. As a result ofwater circulation, large cuspate forelandshave developed immediately north ofTantabiddi, at Jurabi Point andBabjarrimannos.
In some cases, such as Jurabi Point, theoriginal system of dune ridges have beendestroyed by recent dune instability and thedevelopment of large blow-outs. This hasresulted in mobile sand sheets burying thenorthern extensions of the eroded ridgeforms. Reasons for the instability are notimmediately apparent and should be thesubject of further and more detailed study.The current policy of limiting access pathsto the coast through the dunes to only a fewpaths should be retained until the moresensitive areas can be determined andexcluded.
The northern margin of the peninsula, fromVlamingh Head to the North West Cape,consists of a large Holocene dune ridge witha braid in its central section. The ridgemerges with the cuspate foreland that has itsapex at Point Murat. Both these areas areunstable. Active blow-outs have developedin the northern dune ridge. Parabolic dunesand a very large blow-out are notablefeatures of the cuspate foreland, particularlyin the vicinity of Bundegi.
The fore-dune morphology of Point Muratand shoreline movements in the vicinity ofthe boat ramp at Bundegi indicate that thereis considerable movement of sedimentbetween the northern and southern flanks ofthe foreland. It is sufficient to account fordune instability in the area and this meansthat boat launching facilities at Bundegirequire considerable and continuingmaintenance by the Exmouth Shire Council.
STRATEGIES
1. Identify geological and landscaperesources vulnerable to environmentaldamage.
2. Locate and design recreation sites andaccess between sites to minimise theirimpact.
11. FLORA AND FAUNA
The objective is to protect and conserveflora and fauna with emphasis on speciesand communities of special value orsignificance.
With the exception of avifauna, there hasbeen no systematic survey of flora or faunain the Jurabi and Bundegi Coastal Parks.
Vegetation is mostly a shrub steppe,dominated by acacias and stunted eucalyptswith a lower storey of small shrubs andspinifex. The spinifex grasslands areextremely important to wildlife, particularlyon the coastal plain where there is a mixedassociation with the introduced buffel grass.The peninsula is a zone of biogeographicaloverlap, containing species from temperate,arid and tropical provinces. The importanceof the region cannot be over stated.
Samphire flats in Location 44 (portion of aproposed addition to Jurabi Coastal Park)are subject to tidal influences. Thesemarshes are of considerable significance tomigratory birds and waders.
Two unique species of subterranean fish andshrimp have been identified on North WestCape and are gazetted threatened faunaunder the Wildlife Conservation Act. Priorto the commencement of any activity/workwith potential to impact on the karst, anexamination must be undertaken todetermine the presence of troglobytic faunaand potential impacts on their populationand habitat.
The Jurabi Coast is a prime site for turtleand seabird rookeries. CALM will beresponsible for recommending anyprotection requirements in those areas mostsusceptible to human disturbance.
All turtles have conservation significanceand are protected. Loggerhead andleatherback turtles have been declaredthreatened species under the WildlifeConservation Act. Firm policies relating tothe degree of interaction between humansand animals need to be established andrigorously maintained. The possibility of
Jurabi and Bundegi Coastal Parks
12
establishing an educational facility withinthe Jurabi coastal area to complement thetourism attractions of viewing turtlenesting/hatching should be seriouslyconsidered. To promote public educationand to help development of tourism, it isproposed a research and education facility tostudy turtle behaviour be constructed in asuitable site between the dunes in JurabiCoastal Park.
STRATEGIES
1. Identify and protect the habitats andcommunities of significant flora andfauna species and associations.
2. Minimise adverse impact on flora and
fauna from management actions, suchas development of facilities or visitoractivities.
3. Provide opportunities for visitors to
increase their knowledge andappreciation of the area's flora andfauna.
4. Guide or restrict public access and
wildlife interaction where necessary sothat conservation values are protected.
5. Promote the importance of the
conservation values of marine andterrestrial fauna particularly withregard to turtle activities within theJurabi area.
12. WEEDS AND FERAL ANIMALS
The objective is to minimise the impact ofweeds and feral animals on theconservation values of these reserves.
The spread of weeds can be minimisedthrough controlling access in and out ofaffected areas and by adopting hygienemeasures during operations within thereserve system. Control measures should betaken in association with property ownersadjacent to reserves.
To control feral animals, baiting methodswhich reduce the risk of bait take by nontarget species will be used. Aerial baitingwill be restricted to areas behind the coastalfore-dune and controlled baiting stationsmay be used on or near beaches. Feral
animals that prey on turtle nests need to becontrolled and an extension of CALM’s1080 poisoning program should be institutedas soon as practicable. As dogs arepermitted in the area it is essential that anybaiting program is accompanied byextensive public advertising and warningsigns in the area to be baited.
Wandering stock have created tracksthrough fragile dune systems and haveincreased the potential for erosion. Strayingstock can also constitute a severe traffichazard, especially early and late in the day.To minimise this potential, stock must beexcluded from the Coastal Parks.Unrestricted stock grazing on the twoparcels of vacant crown land east of YardieCreek Road should not be permitted.
STRATEGIES
1. Monitor the incidence of weeds andferal animals and if necessary prepareand implement a control program.
2. Liaise and coordinate weed and feral
animal control programs withneighbouring areas.
3. Remove exotic animals (including
horses) from the coastal parks. 4. Monitor the impact of control
programs.
13. ACCESS
The objective is to provide for access thatdoes not adversely impact onconservation or other values.
In recent times the Shire of Exmouth haveclosed some 22 access trails to the coastwithin the Jurabi Coastal Park. These trailswere replaced by nine prepared access waysof formed gravel and associated car parks attheir western terminations. Several informaltracks remain and will require closure.Trails caused by straying stock will requirerevegetation subsequent to the closure of theregion to these animals.
Launching of boats will only be permitted indesignated areas. Methods of implementingcharges to recover costs associated with boatlaunching from users will be investigated
Jurabi and Bundegi Coastal Parks
13
and implemented if practicable andequitable.
Proposed Addition to the Park
If the coastal strip of land from the YardieCreek Road - Mildura Wreck Roadintersection to Point Murat is included in theCoastal Parks there will be a requirement forthe construction of at least 3 more accessroads. The proposed addition is dependenton negotiations between the Department ofDefence, the Shire of Exmouth and CALM.The location of additional access roads willrequire careful planning because of theunstable nature of some of this land.Terrestrial access to the coast will be bygazetted access ways which will be clearlysignposted. No vehicular traffic will bepermitted off authorised access ways,except with the written permission ofCALM and the Shire of Exmouth.
STRATEGIES
1. Restrict vehicle access to authorisedroads and tracks and revegetateunnecessary roads or tracks.
2. Prepare detailed plans and
specifications for all new access roads,tracks and parking areas to a highstandard in accordance with accepteddesign principles.
3. Investigate and implement if practical
an equitable system of charging forthe use of boat launching facilities.
4. Maintain tracks to a standard suitable
for visitor use and managementrequirements.
14. SIGNS AND DAY-USEFACILITIES
The objective is to enhance recreationaland other reserve values throughproviding signs and day-use facilities.
All signs will bear the insignia of both theDepartment of Conservation and LandManagement and the Shire of Exmouth andwill conform to the design used in CapeRange National Park. Signs are to beerected requesting the public to take rubbishhome with them for disposal. All
commercial signs require formal approvalby the reserves management committee,prior to erection. The defined areas will beclearly signposted. Toilets have beenconstructed at sites as deemed necessary bythe Committee (see Map 5). The Shire isresponsible for placing suitable receptaclesfor the collection of rubbish in the gazettedparking areas and for the regular servicingof them. Fish offal should be disposed of atapproved fish cleaning stations or buried ata minimum depth of 300mm. Anystructures or day-use facilities will requireprior approval from the Shire of ExmouthCALM.
STRATEGIES
1. Design and develop day use sites andenvironmentally sensitive facilities to ahigh standard in accordance withaccepted design principles.
2. Encourage disposal of fish offal at
approved fish cleaning stations orburial at a minimum depth of 300mm.
3. Require that approval for the
construction of any structures orfacilities is obtained from the Shire ofExmouth and CALM.

15. CAMPING
The objective is to minimise impacts fromvisitor use through management ofcamping.
In the past some camping has occurred inthe carparks and on the beaches of JurabiCoastal Park. However, there are nofacilities to support this activity. Continueduse for camping and associated activitiesmay degrade the surrounds and campingwill conflict with use by day visitors duringthe main visitor season. Therefore, informalcamping is limited to designated areasbetween the 1 st November and the 30th Aprilinclusive and is subject to a maximum stayof three nights. The impact of informalcamping (within the designated areas) on theconservation values of the reserves will beclosely monitored by the managing bodies.The capacity of these areas to sustain thisactivity will be reviewed annually.
STRATEGIES
1. Prohibit camping in Bundegi CoastalPark.
2. Prohibit camping in Jurabi Coastal
Park except in the designated areas. 3. Permit informal camping in the
designated areas for a maximum ofthree nights, subject to annual review(see Map 5).
4. Monitor the impact of informal
camping and caravans on the coastalparks and review annually.
5. Permit overnight stays on the beach
for fishing in designated areas.
16. OPEN FIRES
The objective is to minimise impact onPark values through restricting the use ofopen fires to designated areas.
Campfires are occasionally used forrecreational activities in the coastal parks.Coastal areas are fragile, and the scavengingfor wood in these areas can lead to seriousdegradation. Unrestricted use of campfiresincreases the risk of wildfires occurring.
STRATEGIES
1. Permit the use of open fires in thecoastal parks only in designatedareas, and only if firewood fromoutside the coastal area is used.
2. Prohibit the use of local wood for
campfires.
17. DOMESTIC ANIMALS
The objective is to protect conservationvalues and minimise user conflict throughmanagement of domestic animals in thereserves.
Jurabi area provides the only opportunity forExmouth residents and visitors to take petsto beaches on the west side of the cape.Domestic animals such as dogs and cats candisturb wildlife and visitors and introducedisease and weeds. The smell and presenceof domestic animals can also impede nativefauna activity. Turtle and bird rookeries inparticular may be vulnerable during thenesting season.
Pets are susceptible to baits used to controlferal animals such as foxes and cats. Petowners must be made aware that baits willbe laid in the area from time to time and thatit is their responsibility to keep pets undercontrol. The Shire of Exmouth and CALMwill not assume liability for any pets thatmay inadvertently take poison duringbaiting periods.
STRATEGIES
1. Permit dogs in the coastal parks,except in designated areas.
2. Inform visitors why dogs are
permitted, except in specified coastalareas.
3. Provide adequate signs to ensure
visitors with pets can identify areaswhere baits have been laid.
18. RECREATIONAL RIDING
Jurabi and Bundegi Coastal Parks
16
The objective is to minimise the impact ofrecreational riding activities on theenvironment or on other visitors throughrestricting this activity to designatedtrails only.
The potential for horse and camel ridingtours in the Jurabi Coastal Park isrecognised. The impacts from suchactivities need to be managed.
STRATEGIES
1. Permit riding in the coastal parks(including the possibility ofcommercial horse or camel rides) ondesignated trails only.
2. Monitor the impact of riding and
modify or restrict use if the activityappears environmentally unacceptableor in conflict with other uses.
3. Require all commercial horse or camel
operations to be conducted through acommercial license with strict hygieneconditions.
19. SHOOTING AND CARRYINGFIREARMS
The objective is to protect people andconservation values through restrictingthe use of firearms in the reserve system.
Use of firearms has the potential to threatenlife and property. Firearms may be requiredfor destruction of feral or injured animals.
STRATEGY
1. Prohibit the unauthorised use offirearms in the reserves.
Muiron Islands
17
MUIRON ISLANDSCONSERVATION AND RECREATION
20. TENURE AND BOUNDARIES
The objective is to ensure that the valuesof the nature Reserve are protected bysecurity of tenure and gazetted purpose.
The Muiron Islands (Reserve 31775) arejointly vested in the National Parks andNature Conservation Authority (NPNCA)and the Shire of Exmouth as a nature reservewith a purpose of Recreation andConservation of Flora and Fauna.
STRATEGY
1. Recommend upgrading the MuironIslands to Class A nature reserve forgreater security of tenure inrecognition of their conservationvalues.
21. FLORA AND FAUNA
The objective is to protect and conserveflora and fauna with emphasis on speciesand communities of special value orsignificance.
Flora is similar to that found on themainland of North West Cape. Limitedplant collections have revealed severalspecies that had not been recorded on themainland. Preliminary studies into turtlebehaviour in the area initiated by CALMindicate major rookeries are located onNorth and South Muiron Islands.
STRATEGIES
1. Identify and protect the habitats andcommunities of significant flora andfauna species and associations.
2. Minimise adverse impact on flora and
fauna from management actions orvisitor activities.
3. Provide opportunities for visitors to
increase their knowledge andappreciation of the area's flora andfauna.
4. Guide or restrict public access andwildlife interaction where necessary sothat conservation values are protected.
5. Promote the importance of the
conservation values of marine andterrestrial fauna.
22. WEEDS AND FERAL ANIMALS
The objective is to minimise the impact ofweeds and feral animals on theconservation values of these reserves.
The spread of weeds can be minimisedthrough controlling access in and out ofaffected areas and by adopting hygienemeasures during operations within thereserve system.
There are no feral animals on this reserve. Ifcontrol is required in the future, baitingmethods which reduce the risk of bait takeby non target species will be used.
STRATEGIES
1. Monitor the incidence of weeds andferal animals and if necessary prepareand implement a control program.
2. Liaise and coordinate weed and feral
animal control programs withneighbouring areas.
3. Monitor the impact of control
programs.
23. ACCESS
The objective is to provide for access thatdoes not adversely impact onconservation or other values.
Public access to the islands should belimited to defined areas. Such areas will bedetermined to balance environmentalprotection and sustainable recreational use.Special protection is required for muttonbird and turtle rookeries.
Muiron Islands

STRATEGY
1. Maintain access to a standard suitablefor visitor use and managementrequirements while being sensitive toconservation and other needs.
24. SIGNS AND DAY-USEFACILITIES
The objective is to enhance recreationaland other reserve values throughproviding signs and day-use facilities.
All signs will bear the insignia of both theDepartment of Conservation and LandManagement and the Shire of Exmouth andwill conform to the design used in CapeRange National Park. Signs are to beerected requesting the public to take rubbishhome with them for disposal. The definedareas will be clearly signposted.
Any structures or day-use facilities willrequire prior approval from the Shire ofExmouth and the NPNCA.
STRATEGIES
1. Design any day use sites to haveregard for aesthetic and conservationvalues.
2. Require that approval for the
construction of any structures orfacilities is obtained from the Shire ofExmouth and from the NPNCA andthat they conform to a high standardin accordance with accepted designprinciples.
25. CAMPING
The objective is to minimise impacts fromvisitor use through management ofcamping.
Limited camping in designated areas on theMuiron Islands has occurred in the past withthe written approval of the Shire of Exmouthand CALM. To protect the environment itwill be necessary to limit group size andapply seasonal restrictions.
STRATEGY
1. Permit camping in the recreation zoneon the Muiron Islands with thewritten approval of the Shire ofExmouth and CALM, withappropriate conditions to protect theenvironment.
26. OPEN FIRES
The objective is to minimise impact onPark values through the use of openfires.
Because of the barrier provided by thesurrounding water, islands provideimportant ecological refuges and areextremely valuable for nature conservation.Because of their isolation, fire suppression israrely feasible, and any fires occurring havethe potential to impact on the entire reserve.To reduce the risk of accidental wildfires,campfires have not been permitted on theseislands in the past.
STRATEGY
1. Prohibit the use of open fires on theMuiron Islands.
27. DOMESTIC ANIMALS
The objective is to protect conservationvalues and minimise user conflict throughmanagement of domestic animals in thereserves.
Domestic animals such as dogs and cats candisturb wildlife and visitors and introducedisease and weeds. The smell and presenceof domestic animals can also impede nativefauna activity. Turtle and bird rookeries inparticular may be vulnerable during thenesting season.
STRATEGY
1. Inform visitors why domestic animalsare prohibited on the Muiron Islands,although they are permitted inspecified coastal areas.

Community Relations
20
COMMUNITY RELATIONS
29. INFORMATION,INTERPRETATION ANDEDUCATION
The objective is to increase awareness,appreciation and understanding of thereserve values and encourage responsibleuse of the reserves.
Information, interpretation and educationare important to enhance visitor experienceand to increase the general level ofawareness, appreciation and understandingof the cultural and natural conservationvalues of the areas. Information usuallyprovides details of facilities, activities andregulations, while interpretation explainscultural and natural features. Educationprovides detailed materials and programsdesigned to facilitate learning. Groupstargeted for education could include schoolgroups or community groups engaging innature-based educational activities in thereserves. Tourism agencies, schools andmuseums are an important source forinformation and involvement in interpretiveprograms.
The establishment of an educational facilitysuch as a turtle interpretive centre within theJurabi coastal area to complement thetourism attractions of viewing turtlenesting/hatching should be seriouslyconsidered.
STRATEGIES
1. Develop a range of interpretiveeducation programs that highlightnatural features (including flora andfauna), cultural heritage andmanagement issues.
2. Integrate interpretation and education
programs with those for Cape RangeNational Park and Ningaloo MarinePark and liaise closely with groupssuch as tourism agencies, schools andmuseums.
3. Promote the development of a turtle
interpretation centre within the JurabiCoastal Park.
30. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
The objective is to develop, encourageand facilitate liaison with the communityand their involvement in ParkManagement.
Interest groups and individuals in thecommunity can play important roles inhelping to manage conservation reserves andin facilitating the general public awarenessof these areas. This increased publicawareness encourages appropriatebehaviour, therefore minimising activitiesthat damage the area, and thus reducingmanagement costs.
STRATEGIES
1. Maintain and foster closecommunications and activeinvolvement of local individuals andgroups.
2. Encourage community involvement inactivities such as weed control,rehabilitation and educationprograms.
Commercial Uses
21
COMMERCIAL USES
31. COMMERCIALCONCESSIONS
The objective is to maintain reservevalues while encouraging commercialconcessions to assist in the provision ofquality visitor services.
Construction of commercial facilities andlicensing of operations will be restricted tothose servicing recreational, ecotourism, orconservation activities. Commercialoperators will need to abide by strictoperational procedures to ensure minimalimpact on the values of the parks. A fee willbe levied for all commercial operationscarried out in the reserves.
Any developments, including roads,carparks and camping areas, must be sitedon well represented and environmentallysustainable land systems. Potential impactsshall be assessed and minimised.
Proposals for development within thereserves should be considered by themanagement committee and theirrecommendation then submitted to the Shireof Exmouth and CALM. Leasing of land orfacilities within any of the three sites underconsideration will have to meet with thesame approval. A special strategy for thegranting and administration of leases will bedeveloped. The majority of revenuegenerated from such leasing or any othermeans, will be used for the maintenance anddevelopment of facilities in these reserves.
STRATEGIES
1. Consider approving commercialconcessions that are consistent withthe objectives of this Plan and thatprovide a service or facility that wouldotherwise not be able to be provided.
2. Include a lease or license agreement as
part of all approved commercialoperations.
3. Review all commercial concession
operations periodically and modify
lease or license arrangements asnecessary.
4. Ensure that the majority of revenue
generated through leases or licenses isused for agreed works within thereserve system.
5. Prohibit facilities on the Muiron
Islands.
Knowledge
22
KNOWLEDGE
32. RESEARCH AND MONITORING
The objective is to increase knowledgeand understanding of flora, fauna andnatural processes within the managementareas.
Scientific information from research andmonitoring is the basis for appropriatemanagement as well as for information,interpretation and education programs anddisplays.
STRATEGIES
1. Liaise with research officers involvedwith projects such as the WesternAustralian Marine Turtle Project andrefine management through theutilisation of research results.
2. Encourage volunteers, educational
institutions and other organisationsand individuals to participate innature conservation research projects.
Plan Implementation
23
PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
33. FUNDING AND MANAGEMENT
The objective is to implement this planthrough an adequate provision of staffand resources as well as through anyother appropriate alternative means.
Implementing this plan will require an initialinjection of funds for recreational andinterpretive facility site planning, design anddevelopment. Alternative sources offunding such as external funding from grantswill also be actively sought.
Each party will bear the operating costs oftheir own staff involved in the managementof these reserves.
Costs associated with proposeddevelopments by the management agenciesand attendant financial arrangements willneed to be agreed to before works areundertaken.
A majority of the revenue obtained fromactivities on the reserves is to be held intrust by the Shire of Exmouth in a ReserveAccount, to be used only for agreed workswithin the Parks.
STRATEGIES
1. Actively seek CALM and Shire ofExmouth resources as well as fundingfrom external sources forimplementing strategies of this plan.
2. Integrate management and investigate
cooperative means of implementingand enforcing management planstrategies.
34. EVALUATION AND REVIEW
The objective is to assess the effectivenessof the management plan throughperiodically monitoring the progressmade in implementation and to reviewthe document as required.
Implementation should be reviewedperiodically by the management committee.
A standard monitoring procedure such asthat used by the NPNCA for conservationparks and national parks would beappropriate. The duration of themanagement plan will be for a maximum of10 years.
In the light of new information revision canoccur at any time. If the revision processindicates a need for changes to the plan,either the Shire of Exmouth or CALM caninitiate amendments prior to the expiryperiod.
STRATEGIES
1. Monitor the implementation of thisplan through the ManagementCommittee and through the standardmonitoring procedures adopted by theNPNCA.
2. Review the plan if new information,
particularly from research andmonitoring shows that a major changein the direction of the plan is required.
