Hungry Point Reserve is a Crown Reserve and in 2012 the Hungry Point Reserve Trust was appointed to oversee the reserve following its closure as Australia’s first Fisheries Research Centre.

In 2018 the Minister called for nominations to the Board where he subsequently reappointed and appointed new members to the Hungry Point Reserve Trust for a 5-year term.

The actual entity was then renamed in 2019 to Hungry Point Reserve Land Manager as a result of overarching changes by Crown Lands.

In March 2023 the Hungry Point Reserve Land Manager term was extended a further six months.

In September 2023 Crown Lands appointed Mr Simon Spicer as Administrator of the Hungry Point Reserve Land Manager (HPRLM) for a period of up to six months whilst the long-term management of the reserve is finalised. The HPRLM entity continues to exist and all arrangements relating to tenures remain in place.
