The Park Plan

This is the fundamental planning tool in the protected area.
The Belluno Dolomites National Park Plan was definitively approved by the Veneto Region on 21 November 2000 and published in the Gazzetta Ufficiale no. 21 of 25 January 2001.

Scope and powers
The strategic aim of the Plan is to ensure that the Belluno Dolomites National Park is not considered as merely a collection of constraints, but rather as a concrete opportunity for growth, with advantages clearly taking precedence over limits.
The Park's primary aim is to protect the natural, environmental, cultural and agricultural values of the protected area, while at the same time conserving and valorising its resources through cultural, educational and recreational use.
The Park Plan automatically replaces the provisions and constraints of all other sector plans in force.

The Plan regulates
Division of the area into zones (zoning);
Public use, constraints and possible activities;
Accessibility (routes, access for the disabled and elderly)
Facilities and services associated with managing the Park and its community functions including museums, visitor centres and agrotourism businesses
Strategies and criteria for activities involving the plants, animals and natural environment
