What is the Australian Alps National Parks Co-operative Management Program?

This short video explains our vision and mission in bringing people together, including stakeholders, communities and park agency staff from across the state and territory jurisdictions and boundaries united in a common goal to protect the important natural, cultural and community values of the Australian Alps national parks. The Alps Program which has been operating now for more than 36 years is an important piece of the Australian Alps management framework.

The Alps Partnership

 In 1986, with the signing of the first Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), NSW, Victoria, ACT and Australian government national park authorities formally agreed the national parks in the Australian Alps should be managed cooperatively to protect the area’s special character. Through this spirit of cooperation the Australian Alps Liaison Committee (AALC) was formed to ensure that the parks and reserves in the Alps are managed as one biogeographical entity to protect them for generations to come.
