About us

Covering 2600 hectares of land and sea, the park encompasses the whole of North Keeling Island as well as the surrounding waters.

Parks Australia leases the area from the Cocos-Malay community and manages it as a Commonwealth Reserve under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).

Despite being one of our smallest national parks, Pulu Keeling is a place of international conservation significance. The island is zoned as a strict nature reserve under International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) definitions, which means a permit is required for most activities.

An internationally recognised seabird rookery, Pulu Keeling supports one of the world’s largest populations of red-footed boobies as well as other rare and endangered species.
