Broome’s dinosaur tracks are Nationally Significant

The Dinosaur Coast National Heritage Management Plan (DCNHMP) explains why this part of the Dinosaur Coast is so special and how, if we all work together, the National Heritage values of the Broome Sandstone and Ichnofossils (including dinosaur tracks) can be conserved and preserved while increased community and visitor interest is managed.

The Plan has been developed with the assistance of a Steering Group and based on the advice from the Heritage Branch of the Department of Climate Change Environment Energy and Water (Cth) is now to be finalised for implementation.
