Your input wanted into the Catchment Action Plan

The Northern Rivers Catchment Action Plan (CAP) was first developed in 2006 to guide natural resource management (NRM) in the Northern Rivers region. It supports the whole community to improve natural resource condition by identifying key issues impacting on natural resources and priorities for investment and on-ground action.
The Northern Rivers catchment includes the following areas of the Mid North Coast: Wauchope, Port Macquarie, Kempsey, Nambucca Heads, Bellingen, Dorrigo, Coffs Harbour and Woolgoolga.
The region’s natural resources and community are constantly changing and it is important to constantly review and improve programs to best meet their needs. The Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority (NRCMA) has commenced a 5 year CAP review. A new CAP for 2012 to 2022 will be developed with the community and finalised in 2013. Community input is essential to ensure the new CAP represents the aspirations of the whole Northern Rivers community for the future management of its precious natural resources.

Your input is essential! There will be many opportunities for input over the coming months, but as a first step, please have your say by completing the two surveys: at http://yoursay.northern.cma.nsw.gov.au/.
