The core objectives for management of community land categorised as wetland are--
(a) to protect the biodiversity and ecological values of wetlands, with particular reference to their hydrological environment (including water quality and water flow), and to the flora, fauna and habitat values of the wetlands, and
(b) to restore and regenerate degraded wetlands, and
(c) to facilitate community education in relation to wetlands, and the community use of wetlands, without compromising the ecological values of wetlands.
