NT RIS07-08 Successful Projects
It is with great pleasure that the Natural Resource Management Board has announced the successful projects to be offered funding from the NRMB’s Regional Investment Strategy 2007-2008. It has been a very competitive funding round, and the standard of applications was very high. The NRMB entered into a two-stage assessment process, comprising both technical and strategic assessment of projects, and is now confident that a whole new suite of projects aiming for the achievement of the Management Action Targets in the Territory’s Integrated Natural Resource Management Plan, is about to commence. Congratulations to the successful organisations.
