The Northern Rivers CMA was established in 2005 by the New South Wales government to work with the community to protect and restore our natural resources. Each year, the Northern Rivers CMA funds a wide range of projects across the Northern Rivers region to encourage the sustainable use and management of our precious natural resources. Read more about what we do...
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.
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.
