Natural Resource Management (NRM) Plan

Welcome. The ACT Natural Resource Management Board (now the ACT Natural Resource Management Council) prepared the ACT Natural Resource Management Plan

following extensive community consultation. It follows a national agreed format linking regional and national agendas in natural resource management.

The Plan details how natural resource management issues the Territory will be strategically addressed, in partnership between community and government and in an integrated and coordinated way.

The Plan is needed to access funding from the Australian Government from programs like the Natural Heritage Trust and the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality.

Targets for community building, biodiversity, water quality and flow, soil health, and salinity detailed in the Plan reflects the ACT’s location in this wider Murrumbidgee River Catchment.

Since the Plan’s release, catchment management arrangements in NSW have changed. The Murrumbidgee Catchment Management Authority has been established and the Authority has prepared a new Catchment Action Plan.

The ACT NRM Council will review the ACT NRM Plan during 2006 and early 2007 to address the new catchment wide targets in the Catchment Action Plan and to reflect progress already made addressing the targets previously set in the ACT Natural Resource Management Plan.
