Adjacent Land and Sea

Outside of the Jervis Bay Territory the waters immediately to the south of the Wreck Bay Community lands are managed as part of the NSW Jervis Bay Marine Park. Several parcels of NSW land adjacent to the Territory are included in NSW Jervis Bay National Park, managed by the NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change. All the waters of Jervis Bay are subject to the Control of Naval waters Act 1918 which allows for use of the bay for naval exercises. There are protocols in place for the communication and consultation arrangements between Booderee management and Creswell command and other related matters. Importantly the Commanding Officer for HMAS Creswell is a member of the Park Board of Management.
