NRS-17795 | Regional files [Snowy Mountains Region]

Full description

This series is the regional files from the Snowy Mountains Regional Office relating to the care, control, management, conservation and cultural heritage planning of Kosciusko National Park.

As these regional files were maintained in the Snowy Mountains regional office they contain a mixture of recordkeeping references that reflect the larger administrative arrangements.

The Parks and Reserves, Miscellaneous Branch of the Department of Lands transferred the custody of some records relating to the establishment of the Kosciusko State/National Park. These predate the National Parks and Wildlife Service [I] but were kept in the Snowy Mountains Regional Office and form part of the series of regional files.

This series also contains some Kosciusko State Park Trust recordkeeping references (alpha prefix). These were created by the Trust but custody of these were also transferred to the National Parks and Wildlife Services and these were subsequently maintained and added to.

These records cover such matters as: appointments to the Kosciusko National Park Trust, local and advisory committees; park boundaries; management of park properties; studies of native wildlife; Aboriginal relics; and policy matters.

The physical formats of the records are foolscap papers attached to a backing sheet by a file pin.
