Who we are

Australia’s natural and cultural heritage is unique. Our land and seascapes are distinctive, home to plants and animals found nowhere else in the world, and to some of the oldest living cultures on earth. These environments and cultures are an essential part of our national identity, and visitors travel from across the country and the world to experience them. The Director of National Parks (the Director) is responsible for six national parks, the Australian National Botanic Gardens, 58 Australian Marine Parks and the Heard Island and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. Parks Australia is the federal park agency that supports the Director, and they are a division of the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (the Department). We work to showcase these natural and cultural wonders to the world, demonstrating to all why these places are so special, and inspiring communities to become more invested in their care and future.

Kakadu National Park is a world-heritage listed site for its natural and cultural values, and one of three national parks, leased by their Aboriginal owners to the Director of National Parks, and jointly managed by Traditional Owners and Parks Australia. Parks Australia assists with ongoing management of the park’s natural and cultural heritage.

In addition to ongoing management of the park’s natural and cultural heritage, this branch also manages strategic priorities for Parks Australia, managing a range of strategic planning and major capital projects across the three jointly managed parks.

The Asset Management Unit is responsible for the strategic planning, maintenance, renewal and lifecycle management of a diverse portfolio of assets that support the operation of Kakadu National Park. The unit oversees the management of infrastructure, fleet and operational assets across a large and geographically dispersed World Heritage listed estate. This includes roads, bridges, buildings, staff housing, visitor facilities, utilities, plant and machinery, marine assets, generators and a substantial fleet of operational vehicles. The unit works closely with Traditional Owners, operational teams, contractors and service providers to ensure assets remain safe, compliant, fit-for-purpose and capable of supporting the delivery of conservation, cultural heritage, tourism and park management outcomes.
