The Joint Management Body, or JMB as we call it, ensures that cultural governance and cultural decisions are included in the future management of the conservation estate. 

The JMB has been meeting 4 times a year over the last 12 months and they have been working on issues such as: 

• Conservation Estate Management 

• Joint Management Plan Process 

The JMB members take guidance from their community and cultural committee in ensuring cultural decisions are a part of the management plan. 

The members have been appointed to the end of the development of the overarching management plan for the Conservation Estate.  This will take about 3 years and will guide future management of the large number of reserves under joint management. 

If a person resigns from the JMB, the relevant cultural committee will be asked to nominate a replacement. 

The current members on the JMB include:
