Conservation Management Plan for
Sarah Island Historic Site, Macquarie Harbour, Tasmania

A Conservation Management Plan for the Sarah Island Historic Site, Macquarie Harbour, Tasmania, is currently being prepared. The conservation management planning is being undertaken for the Tasmanian Heritage Office (Department of Tourism, Parks, Heritage & the Arts) by a team of consultants. The consultant team comprises – Anne McConnell (Principal), Kathy Evans, Jerry de Gryse, Anna Gurnhill, Greg Lehman and Robert Vincent.

The Tasmanian Heritage Office is managing the project on behalf of the Parks and Wildlife Service (Department Primary Industry, Water & Environment), the government agency responsible for the management of the Sarah Island Historic Site.

The project started in early January 2003. It is anticipated that a draft Conservation Management Plan will be available by early April 2003.

The Sarah Island Historic Site is best known as the site of one of Tasmania’s earliest convict settlements, with convicts mainly engaged in Huon pine logging and shipbuilding. It also has Aboriginal historical associations, and for the last 100 years it has been a focus of tourists on Tasmania’s west coast. Sarah Island has important and acknowledged historic values, and is part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.
