The Northern and Yorke Regional NRM Plan is to guide the management of land, water, biodiversity, marine and coastal environments in our region
The Plan aims to encourage all to work together to protect and enhance our natural ecosystems, and sustain primary production, local economies, social and community well-being.
While a 50-year vision is an integral part of the NRM Plan, it also features key milestones against which progress will be determined including:
- resource condition targets that identify outcomes with a 20-year timeframe; and
- management action targets with clear and measureable objectives over a five-year period.
Each target has specific strategies and actions to provide detail and clarity to a wide range of projects to manage the condition of our natural resources.
The Board has developed this PIan to provide leadership, encourage community action, foster partnerships and identify where NRM investment is required. The plan has been formulated with extensive consultation with the community and stakeholders - the NRM Plan is a plan for all of us.
