This document contains an outline structure for the Cairngorms National Park Authority's (Park Authority) Corporate Plan for 2023 to 2027. Scotland's national parks aim to be models of sustainable development, and the Cairngorms National Park (National Park) has four aims set by the Scottish Parliament. The Park Authority's purpose is to ensure these aims are achieved in a coordinated way, giving greater weight to conserving the area's natural and cultural heritage. The Park Authority is responsible for coordinating the Cairngorms National Park Partnership Plan (NPPP). The Corporate Plan is driven by the NPPP and outlines how the Park Authority will deliver aspects of the NPPP, working with partners to achieve agreed objectives, with three priority objectives around nature, people, and place. The Park Authority aims to be the best small public body in Scotland, operating sustainably and promoting inclusivity, and will also lead the Cairngorms Peatland Action Programme, supporting community bodies and implementing Scottish Government directions around working practices. The Park Authority's work will involve direct project delivery, resource support, influencing policy, coordinating activities, and establishing performance management frameworks.
