The draft regional NRM plan sets out (among other things) the SA MDB NRM Board’s goals in relation to natural resources management and a scheme for the implementation of natural resources management programs and policies to achieve an appropriate balance between environmental, social and economic outcomes.
In doing so, it also seeks to foster an approach where ecological systems and catchments are managed as a whole (a landscape approach to natural resources management).
The draft regional NRM plan builds upon existing plans and strategies for the region and extends the considerable work already undertaken to protect, preserve and restore natural resources. The draft regional NRM plan comprises four volumes:
Volume 1: The 10 Year Strategic Plan
The 10 Year Strategic Plan sets the direction for natural resources management and includes the Vision, Long-term and Intermediate Targets and the required actions to achieve the targets. The Strategic Plan is for everyone in the region, not just the SA MDB NRM Board.
