This is the statutory management plan for Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, jointly issued by the park's Board of Management, which has an Anangu majority, and the Australian Director of National Parks. As a legally binding government document authored with direct Anangu governance, it is the correct primary source for what Anangu ask of park visitors as a matter of law and management policy, including the 2019 closure of the Uluru climb that this plan documents. Its limit is that it is a management and policy document, not an ethnographic or theological account of Anangu religious law itself, so a claim about the deeper meaning of Tjukurpa, Anangu law and lore, beyond what visitors are asked to do, needs a source that addresses that religious content directly rather than this administrative plan.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
The Director of National Parks, Australia's own management plan, jointly held with the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Board of Management, treated at the top tier as that primary institutional record. NotesThe statutory plan for an Aboriginal-owned, jointly managed park, written by a Board with an Anangu majority. It is the authority for what Anangu ask of visitors, including the closure of the Uluru climb, and it is cited here in preference to any outside description of Anangu law.
