CAP Review

Get involved in the review of the Northern Rivers Catchment Action Plan.
Catchment Action Plan

The Northern Rivers Catchment Action Plan is Under Review

There are 13 regional Catchment Action Plans (CAP) across New South Wales that set priorities for investment in natural resource management projects. These plans, including the Northern Rivers CAP, are now under review.

NRCMA Cap (cover page)The review process will result in 13 new strategic regional natural resource management plans that better align Government objectives for natural resource management with community aspirations for the sustainable use of our catchments, enabling streamlined investment towards these priority areas.

Community input into the planning process is important and a number of opportunities to have your say will happen during 2012.
