Broome’s dinosaur tracks are Nationally Significant
The Dinosaur Coast National Heritage Management Plan (DCNHMP) explains why this part of the Dinosaur Coast is so special and how, if we all work together, the National Heritage values of the Broome Sandstone and Ichnofossils (including dinosaur tracks) can be conserved and preserved while increased community and visitor interest is managed.
The Plan has been developed with the assistance of a Steering Group and based on the advice from the Heritage Branch of the Department of Climate Change Environment Energy and Water (Cth) is now to be finalised for implementation.
Later in 2024 it will be circulated for public comment. If you would like to be notified when it is available, please leave you details.
In the meantime please read Summary – Dinosaur Coast National Heritage Management Plan (8 pages) (.pdf download)
The Management Plan has been divided into 9 zones and here are the summaries for each (click to download):
