Control and management of national parks - Management plans

46: Amendment and review of management plans

You could also call this:

"Updating park plans to keep them current and useful"

You and the Board need to change or review the management plan when you learn new things or when things change. You can review the whole plan or just part of it. You must review and approve the entire plan at least once every 10 years, following the rules in section 47.

When you make changes, you usually need to follow the rules in sections 47 and 48. But if you and the Board think the changes won't really affect the plan's goals or what people think about the area, you can use a simpler process. This simpler process still follows some parts of sections 47 and 48.
