1 Executive Summary
This report aims to put forward an expression of interest for the use of the Quarantine station
located on Bruny Island. It will outline the positive and negative impacts of the proposed use of
the Quarantine station site, and how the cultural history of the site may be maintained and
celebrated.
The Quarantine station is currently owned by the Government through Parks and Wildlife
Tasmania but back in 2011 the Friends of Bruny Island Quarantine Station group formed to
maintain the management and conservation of the site. There is currently an onsite volunteer that
lives on the premises to take care of the maintenance and opening and closing of the site. The
Quarantine station bears a lot of cultural history that is maintained through the use of the site.
The proposed Buruwang Adventures would cater mostly for school, clubs and community groups
by providing them with an option of camping packages. These may include activities such as skills
guides and workshops on the stations flora and fauna and history. There would also be options to
kayak and explore the coastline and even take part in some outdoor survival skill training. The site
would be open from Monday to Wednesday for groups. The proposed camping area would be
located where the old soldiers’ camp was in 1919. Using this as a pretense we could aim to classify
the area as a recreation zone that would therefore allow camping.
Possible impacts produced by Buruwang adventures to be addressed include: the disruption to
endangered/ native species and their habitats, the effects of increased rubbish and waste, and how
it would be disposed of. Additionally, there needs to be consideration given to the surrounding
communities and residents. Profits made from Buruwang Adventures would be reinvested to make
future developments on site possible. Any impacts from the proposed developments will be
minimized through effective management strategies such as those outline in the Parks 21 Joint
Strategic Action Plan (The Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service and Tasmanian Tourism Industry
2014).

4. 4
Some future developments for Buruwang Adventures would include:
 Upgrading the roads used to access the site and implementing a bus car park and turning
circle to make accessing the site safer.
 Adding tracks would also mean that walks at the Quarantine station could be done in a
circuit motion.
 The potential for camping to be open to the public once sufficient levels of management
have been achieved.
 And, if Buruwang Adventures grew to be successful, they could then offer the camping
packages to the public as well.
Recommendations for Buruwang Adventures include increasing site awareness through the
distribution of pamphlets and affiliations with tourist information businesses. Increasing the
knowledge and awareness of the sites culture and history has the potential to create positive runoff
benefits for the communities on Bruny Island.
2 Mission Statement
To promote, educate and engage the public with the site in a sustainable manner. Thereby
creating a more accessible and exciting tourist experience.
 Provide facilities to benefit tourist groups
 Awareness of culture, environment and heritage
 Engage community members through the educational experience
 Provide a management plan to minimise impacts and implement/intergrate sustainable
practices

5. 5
3 Proposal
Buruwang Adventures: experience Quarantine station.
Buruwang offers an educational and highly active experience with the natural environment,
culture and heritage of the Bruny Island quarantine station site.
Buruwang Adventures propose to offer educational camping packages, aimed at local school
groups along with community groups and clubs, e.g. bird watchers and nature enthusiasts.
The proposed camping areas will be south of the volunteer quarters, on the site where the
soldiers were once camped back in 1919 (Friends of Bruny Island Quarantine Station 2015). We
aim to achieve this by applying to classify this zone as a recreation zone. This will also allow us
to install some basic BBQ cooking facilities for the campers. Our business aims to follow all
procedures and legislation as outlined in The National Parks and Reserve Management Act 2002.
Bookings will be available for 3 days, (Monday to Wednesday), and can accommodate up to 20
students/guests along with any required supervisors. We plan to reserve Thursday as rest and
clean up days. This leaves Friday to Sunday to continue being open to the public, with access to
walks, bird and wildlife viewing stations, BBQ, washing and kayak facilities.
Options for camper’s activities will include the following:
● Nature interpreters
● Skills guide and teaching workshops
○ Flora and fauna
○ Culture
○ Heritage
○ Outdoor survival skills
● Use of kayaks for water and coastline exploring
Packages may offer a more structured layout or just hire of the location and facilities with our
management framework to monitor impacts (see draft form appendix 1).
By designing tracks and activities within recreation areas it gives a measurable area to manage
and update, and ensures conservation areas can be accessed in a sustainable manner.

6. 6
We will engage with the local community and friends of quarantine station by inviting members
to be a part of the educational workshops. These may be volunteers or paid positions from the
Friends of Bruny Island Quarantine Station, local experts and local cultural elders.
Documents such as the Parks 21 Joint Strategic Action Plan (The Tasmania Parks and Wildlife
Service and Tasmanian Tourism Industry 2014), The National Parks and Reserve Management
Act 2002 and South Bruny Island National Park Management Plan (Department of Primary
Industries, Water and Environment 2000) have been considered in the formation of the business,
business activities and management strategies, which will be reflected throughout the report.
Success stories such as those at Waddamana Power station serve as a positive indicator as to the
levels of business activity and community and tourist engagement. Waddamana Power Station is
a heritage listed recreation and museum site. The ‘Waddamana Field Study Centre’ is an
extremely popular school camp site as groups experience the ‘opportunity to study the
surrounding environment and the history of early Tasmanian hydro power generation’
(Waddamana Historic Highland Village wiki 2011). This is an encouraging testimonial for the
types of activities and facilities that Buruwang Adventures proposes to supply.
Through creating facility, infrastructure and interpretation updates to the site, this may increase
the carrying capacity for tourists. Additionally, a large draw card for international tourist will be
the opportunity to observe native and even endangered wildlife via the viewing platforms, in the
iconic eucalypt populated bush land. The recreation zone may also serve as a lunch and picnic
area, encouraging tourists to prolong their visit.
General overview for major considerations for development:
In order to facilitate the groups the following developments should be considered, arranged in
order of importance.
● Apply for areas for recreation, and maintain areas for heritage and conservation
● Create a waste and rubbish management plan
● Update bathroom and shower facilities to accommodate groups

7. 7
● Update and mark out track to be used
● Updates and developments to road and bus bay
● General signs around the site and interpretation for how to use the site
● Update and create camp facilities i.e., turn stable/shedd into simple bbq areas.
● Facilitate glasshouse area, i.e., lounging indoor meeting area and workshop center
● Identify areas for activity stations and any necessary developments, ie bird watching
platforms, flora and fauna identification on land and water and kayak storage.
Guidelines for sustainable operation:
● Source materials locally
● Employ local rangers, community workers/skill leaders, and friends of Quarantine
Station for history, engage with the local aboriginal community.
● Green waste system → reusing grey water, and environment friendly cleaning products
(for people and facilities).
● Take your rubbish with you, and backup bins for campers → compost, recycling and
general waste.
● Management techniques to monitor visitor impacts and allow for recovery and
rehabilitation of the environment.

4 Overview of Site
4.1 History
The first known inhabitants of the Quarantine station were the traditional owners of Bruny Island,
the Nuenonne Aboriginal tribe and this dates back to before 1830 (Friends of Bruny Island
Quarantine Station 2016). From 1856 to 1884, the Quarantine station experienced European
settlement before becoming a State quarantine in 188 through to 1908. The site was then declared
as a Commonwealth quarantine in 1908 to 2002.
In February 1919, the site was classified as a Maritime quarantine used to house the returning
World War One soldiers after the outbreak of the Spanish influenza. The site could hold 300 people
at one time and approximately 9000 troops passed through the Quarantine station between
February and August 1919 (Friends of Bruny Island Quarantine Station 2016). In the 1950’s the
Quarantine station become a plant quarantine, which was effective because it was the only
Commonwealth island quarantine as well as the only one located in Tasmania.
In 2003, the Quarantine station entered into Government ownership through Parks and Wildlife
Tasmania and in 2011, the Friends of Bruny Island Quarantine Station was formed to maintain the
management and conservation of the site (Friends of Bruny Island Quarantine Station 2016).

9. 9
4.2 Current Condition
The Friends of Bruny Island Quarantine Station currently maintain the management and
conservation of the site. The site is open five days a week, Thursday through to Monday, and there
is a volunteer that lives on site associated with Parks and Wildlife Tasmania (Friends of Bruny
Island Quarantine Station 2016). Using the site like it is used now ensures that the site is maintained
and looked after.
Currently the walks available to visitors have minimal signage. Therefore, there is potential to add
extra signage to make the site more effective and interactive. Generally, Quarantine station is not
very well advertised, with no informational material available upon disembarking the Bruny Island
ferry. In regards to accessing the site, the turn off is poorly signed and the access road is unsealed,
and potentially unsafe for some vehicles, e.g. busses.
The site currently has a few toilets; this would need to increase if there were to be higher numbers
of people utilizing the site. The site also doesn’t possess any form of rubbish disposing facilities,
therefore encouraging visitors to take it with them. This would also need to be addressed to
facilitate more visitors.
The area where the old soldiers’ camp was located is ideal for camping as it is completely clear
from trees or buildings but, would need to be classified as a recreational area. The jetty located at
the Quarantine Station is in good condition and is a highly functional place for many boats. The
Quarantine Station is maintained fairly well and possesses a lot of potential.

10. 10
5 Managing Community Involvement and Recreation
Communities and residents can be managed in accordance with the agenda of Parks 21(The
National Parks and Reserves Management Act 2002), Draft Management Plan for Quarantine
Station (Parks and Wildlife Service 2015) and strategies as described by Font & Tribe (2000).
Some of the important ways to manage community neighbours and recreation keeping those views
and considerations are as follows:
1. Care will be taken so that residents, communities, neighbours and certain groups will not be
affected.
2. Involvement of the community for the development of the park.
3. More volunteers will be encouraged to engage with different activities organized by the reserve.
4. Implement land and marine management practices to protect natural and cultural values.
5. Develop visitor services and reception areas.
6. Manage carrying capacity according to the reserve standard.
7. Provide training to staff in visitor reception and communication.
6 Social Impacts
Social impact is defined as the effect of an action on the social structure of the community as well
as welfare of the individuals and families, (Harton et al. 1998). Wood (2005) defines social impact
as how an organization’s action affects the surrounding community and individuals as a whole.
Mathieson and Wall (1982) stated that Social impact is the result of social forces including the
strength of the source of impact; the closeness of the event, and the availability of sources directly
associated the impact.
If a reserve has the following characteristics, then it will have significant social impact (Font &
Tribe 2000):
 Historic and cultural heritage;
 Forested lands; and
 An atmosphere of quietness and Relaxation
The Quarantine station can encourage community involvement, which will bring various social
benefits. The authority can work with various communities to attract tourists from different sectors.

11. 11
They can also target various schools and colleges to organize events and picnic inside the reserve
by complying with the law. Various recreation activities will help involvement of people that will
accelerate socialization.
They can also work with neighbours for the best benefit of the reserve. Involving the people living
around the Island can be a good step to conserve quarantine station. If various activities are
organized on a regular basis in coalition with locals, socialization of communities may be
achieved. It will also be helpful for the community as well as individual. If activities such as bird
watching and enjoying the natural beauty are organised, it will have social impact on the ground
that various groups of tourists will come to enjoy this reserve.
It has been seen that there is an unused trail inside the reserve, which can be used as a form of
recreation. Besides, there are jetty and waterway that can also target broad spectrum of people to
enjoy the Buruwang Adventure. Moreover, tourist and other groups of people can also be
familiarized with indigenous history as many aboriginal people used to live inside the Bruny
Island.
From the above discussion, some of the direct social impacts are-
 Familiarize with Indigenous history
 Develop community stability and welfare
 Visual and spiritual benefits
 Enjoyment for residents and tourists
 Reachable to a broad range of the population
 Creating employment opportunities for local people in the form of socialization and
 Indirect development of local community

7 Target Market
The target market of the Buruwang Adventures can be set according to various interest groups.
For a reserve, it is best to target market based on the interest of different types of groups and
seasons in order to accommodate them perfectly (Goldsmith 2012).
School groups and various youth community groups:
School groups and other youth communities can be targeted for developing tourism in the form of
providing educational tours (Bosselman, Peterson&McCarthy 1999). They will be given
concession in workshops and recreation facilities. Besides, they can also be interested about the
flora, fauna and other natural habitats of the reserve. As the place is not very broad, care should
be taken to manage tourist effectively. The students and community groups can be given special
discounts during winter so that the place does not become overcrowded when other tourists will
be visited that place in summer.
Nature enthusiasts groups and business:
There are various not for profit and profitable organization who always want to work with various
reserves and tourism destination. Tourism Industry council Tasmania and Tourism Tasmania
corporate are two them. They can be invited to hold sustainable seminar in the reserve so that the
reserve is highlighted in the newspaper and other social media.
Various Sporting Groups:
The site can be used either as a short biking trail or walking trail which will also give tourist
amusement. Additionally, the waterway can be used to do kayaking which can attract people who
love sports and amusements.

13. 13
University students and research groups:
University students and other research groups can be invited to do research over flora and fauna
to do some projects as part of their assignments. One of the significant ways to promote the reserve
is to invite the enthusiasts to do research (Chon &Edgell 2006).
International Tourists:
International tourists are main target in the summer season as attracting more and more tourists is
one of the main agenda of Parks 21 Strategic Plan, (Parks and Wildlife Service 2015). In every
year, many international tourists visit Tasmania to enjoy the scenic beauty, cultural and historical
heritages. There are also lots of people who travel Bruny Island as tourists, however do not visit
Quarantine reserve just because it not highlighted properly in any of the Bruny Island Tour Guide.
By highlighting the reserve properly in various marketing channels, those international tourists can
be invited and familiarized with the histories and cultures of the Tasmania.
8 Marketing Channels:
Various marketing channels can be used to promote the Buruwang Adventures. Visitor monitoring
and research is also an important thing to consider for promotion and future marketing (Goldsmith
2012).
Some of the ways are provided bellow:
 Marketing through Social Media including Facebook, Twitter, Google groups and
newspapers.
 Circulating leaflets in various important points of Bruny Island and other places including
ferry terminals, South Bruny National Park, various hotels and accommodation, university
of Tasmania;
 Creating appealing website by featuring histories and recreational facilities;
 Marketing through the tour operator’s websites including Tasmania.com;

9 Economic Impacts
Our development strategy includes guided tours which means that more staff would need to be
employed so that everything is to be safe and well maintained. This leads to more employment
opportunities, particularly with Buruwang Adventures. With the initial start-up, jobs will also be
created with the building of infrastructure such as the shower and toilet block. People employed
by Buruwang Adventures will be trained to have qualifications that ensure they can adhere to
safety regulations. This would include attaining a Bronze Medallion certificate in lifesaving, so
that they are equipped to look after people whilst kayaking. Having a feature like this in the north
of Bruny Island will then lead to more people potentially wanting to buy property on this half of
the island.
Buruwang Adventures will lead to an increased amount of tourist activity. The 2011 census shows
that there are 771 people living on Bruny Island, with only 237 of these living in the north of the
island, showing the need to bring economic activity to the north of the island (Kingsborough
Council 2014). It has been noted that 35,000 vehicles travel the main roads of Bruny Island,
indicating that the roads need to be upgraded to accommodate for this amount of traffic
(Kingsborough Council 2014). 2010/11 statistics show that 74,600 people visit the island annually,
with only 21,800 of these people opting to stay overnight (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2012).
Buruwang Adventures will lead to people seeing Bruny Island as a destination that can be visited
for longer than one day, with tourists being able to spend a day or so at the Quarantine Station area
with the activities provided leading to satisfaction, and potentially then word-of-mouth becoming
a part of marketing of our business idea.
Surrounding businesses will also gain income from the new inflow of tourists. So, not only will
Quarantine Station receive more tourists, but Buruwang Adventures will give tourists further
reason to visit Bruny Island. In particular, this would lead to tourists to visiting the north of the
island also, as the south receives the majority of the attention.
Our current tourism development is aimed at having school groups staying all throughout the year.
This will keep the income of the business steady throughout the winter months. During the summer
months’ tourists are expected to visit Quarantine Station more often, with school groups ceasing

15. 15
in this season. Our views are within line with that of the Friends of Bruny Island group, as we
believe that Monday-Wednesday are days that are available for school groups inclusively, with
Thursday being a clean-up/break day for those who work/volunteer at Buruwang Adventures.
Friday-Sunday is seen as days that tourists are most inclined on visiting.
Money received from activities and tourism at Quarantine Station will then be able to be reinvested
into future development ideas, such as resealing of the current roads in the lead up to Quarantine
Station. A crucial investment scheme that we see for Quarantine station is in upgrading the current
car park, so that buses are able to drive in and around with ease. The current arrangement is tough
for buses as it is quite narrow, and there is no real bus parking space at this time. This is something
we see as crucial in our development, as we are looking to attract school and community groups.

10 Environmental Impacts
Areas of concern as identified by Buruwang Adventure in accordance with the
Quarantine Station State Reserve Management plan Draft (Parks and Wildlife
Service 2015)
● Rubbish and waste disposal/ management
● Water and Energy management
● Impact to habitats, of flora fauna
● Disruption and development of heritage sites
● Coastline erosion
● Disruption to endangered and native species
● Spread of phytophthora cinnamomi
10.1 Action
Nature interpretation will play a large role in behaviour management. By including information
about the conservation zones, boards with native and protected animal info. By educating the
tourists we hope to minimise their impacts. Additionally, for increased accessibility we will
provide a QR code on each board linking to a site where the information me be viewed in a range
of languages.
Updates and track developments will once again serve as a form of managing behaviour. The
proposed updates will extend the main track to form a loop. This will encourage tourists to stay in
designated areas and therefore minimise impacts to the environment. Additionally, structure such
as bird watching and viewing platforms further reinforce these sustainable conservation
behaviours.
Rubbish and waste disposal:
Bins for recycling and general waste will be available for camp groups between the days off
Monday 10 am - Wednesday 4pm. As part of the cleanup and rest day on Thursday, waste will be
transported via vehicle to the Bruny Island waste management station and then distributed into the
appropriate bins (Kingsborough Waste Services 2015). Composting bins will be located near the

17. 17
volunteer accommodation and campers will be encouraged to dispose of any green waste here. All
bins will contain stickers detailing the types of waste, which may be disposed in them.
Water and Energy:
Greywater from showers will be recycled into water for flushing toilets and may even be used to
water recreation zones and landscapes. All cleaning products used on site will be environmentally
friendly and chemical free, along with those soaps provided for campers.
Currently water is sourced from small onsite water reserves. Therefore a future development may
include the installation of tank water to assist in peak seasons.
Habitats:
Breeding areas will be identified, along with areas of high wildlife density. Tacks will be
developed so ensure minimal disturbance to these areas both during development and track use.
Heritage sites:
All proposed developments will not disrupt the zoning of new proposed heritage sites. Some
additional facilities will be installed in the Quarantine building, following the standards and
measures of The National Parks and Reserve Management Act 2002.
Coastline erosion:
Areas of land coastline will not be zoned as recreation areas to ensure minimal disturbance to these
areas. Kayak tours will allow for way of exploring the coastline from the water minimising erosion
impacts.
Disruption to species of flora and fauna:
The draft plan identifies the endangered species, the Forty
Spotted Pardalote as a potential impact and concern. The maps
provided in the draft plan, (as pictured right) demonstrate that
these habitats are spread across the site and not localised in one
area. Therefore proposed updates to the track will not result in
the demolishment of these habitats, and should not disturb or
disrupt the species.
Parks and Wildlife Service 2015

18. 18
Fungus:
Due to the similarities in landscapes we plan to use many techniques developed for the South
Bruny island reserve (Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment 2000). Along
with Parks Tasmania strategies such washing stations and zoning. Information boards will be
positioned at various locations on the site, in addition to areas of concern. Additionally, none of
the proposed track updates or recreation zoning will lead visitors through any zones of high fungus
density.
Carrying Capacity:
Overall the carrying capacity of the site needs to be considered, as well as allowing for a
recovery time between visits. Our conditions for groups will only allow group sizes of 20
students, with allowance for 2 supervisors. And any additional persons employed as part of the
chosen package needs see draft for fees and conditions, see appendix 1. Updates to facilities will
complement any increase in tourist numbers, accommodating for this increase.

10.2 Environmental cost benefit analysis table:
Direct Benefits Direct Costs
● Provides management plan for monitoring
and maintaining environment.
● Generates awareness and education around
native species and provides a protection
program for habitats.
● Provides funds to manage and expand
protected areas.
● Tourists and those participating in the
adventure then help to maintain and protect
the natural habitats through education and
gaining of skills.
● Increased number users to area
→ increased degradation and wear on tracks
and facilities.
● Potential to interfere with wildlife during
construction
● Impacts of tourist activities, can’t all be
controlled
- e.g. rubbish control
Indirect Benefits [outside business practices] Indirect Costs
● Updates to infrastructure on site
Updates to visitor interpretation materials
- maps
- trails
This will reduce impacts on environment
through site management.
● Increased public awareness for site through
[Business name] operations. → could assist
with environment.
● Increased revenue for future development
and maintenance and protection of the area
and the island.
● Potential to increase vulnerability of
environment
● Increases carrying capacity to the island
itself
● Seasonality could affect local economy if
bookings are not monitored
● Exposure to those tourists who are not
interested in conservation.
● Costs associated with the economic costs of
nature
- e.g. more guests → increased revenue →
increased degradation and wear of
environment.

12 Recommendations
By analysing the reserve, it has been observed that the site will require reformation and
introduction of structures to appeal tourist group if a unique experience is to be provided
to tourists. It is obvious that cooperative strategy is needed to formulate all the action
plans as the tourism business is at very initial stage of developing
(Bosselman, Peterson&McCarthy 1999). The large volumes of books inside the
quarantine station do not appeal tourist and other groups to read.
Simple QR codes can be introduced and translated into various languages so that
tourists can easily access information from these books relative to specific sites.
Buruwang Adventure needs to be included as an important point of destination in the
Bruny island tour guide highlighting the reserves values and features. Moreover, PWS
should liaise with Tourism Tasmania, Kingsborough city council and other corporate
tourism business Tourism Tasmania Corporate and Tourism Industry Council
Tasmania. It also needs affiliation with education providers to do research over flora
and fauna. More volunteering opportunities need be created inside the reserve in the
form of incentives and certificates at the initial stage of developing business plans.
