Northern and Yorke NRM Board

WELCOME to the Northern and Yorke Natural Resources Management Board

Our water, our soil, our plants and our animals are our natural resources.

As these natural resources diminish all over the world, we become more and more dependent on them. That means the need to manage South Australia's water, soil, plants and animals has never been as urgent as it is right now.

Climate change challenges us to find new approaches to looking after our land, seas, rivers and biodiversity.

And that means our natural resources – whether for living in, farming, mining or enjoying for recreation, will have to be managed in integrated ways. This calls for partnerships between our governments, businesses, community groups and individuals - all working shoulder to shoulder, idea by idea, to improve the natural environment.

South Australia’s first Natural Resources Management Plan provides a 50-year vision for the State, a strong framework for our ecologically sustainable development, and provides a platform for the Northern and Yorke Natural Resources Management Board's  own natural resources management plan.

From the rolling farmlands of the north to the wild coastal scenery of southern Yorke Peninsula, the Northern and Yorke region provides a growing tourism industry based on great natural beauty and diversity and provides 25 percent of South Australia's income from agriculture.

These assets are precious to our way of life.

Vital to our work of managing our natural resources is explaining to you what we do, and getting you involved. This Northern and Yorke Natural Resources Management Board website aims to do exactly that.
