Regional Natural Resource Management

From Regional Knowledge Resource Kit

In order to facilitate the integrated delivery of Natural Resource Management (NRM) priority issues, the Australian Government, in association with state and territory governments, identified 56 regions covering all of Australia. An integrated NRM plan, developed within local communities, and supported by government and the best available science, has been developed for each region. These plans consider the environmental, social and economic impacts of NRM decisions on a regional basis, which will help improve the sustainable management of natural resources on a regional scale. In order to ensure the best outcomes, investment in NRM plans by governments and other organisations is based on the establishment of clear targets and appropriate monitoring.

Further information on regional NRM can be found on the Australian Government Caring for our Country website.
