Protection

Although it carries the same status as a national park (IUCN protected area category II [2] ), it cannot technically be reserved as a national park because it contains private land. [4]

Management

Wellington Park is administered by the Wellington Park Management Trust, established in 1993, whose members include: Hobart and Glenorchy City Councils, Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service, DPIPWE, TasWater, and Tourism Tasmania. [5] The Wellington Park Management Trust is outlined in the Wellington Park Act 1993. [6]
