14 April 2008: Caring for our Country Update

As most people are now all aware, the Caring For Our Country program will succeed NHT as the primary Australian Government funding source for NRM as of 1 July 2008.
The keystone of the new program consists of six national priorities to which all future funding is to be directed. These are:
• a national reserve system;
• biodiversity and natural icons;
• coastal environments and critical aquatic habitats;
• sustainable farm practices;
• natural resource management in remote and northern Australia; and
• community skills, knowledge and engagement.
The NRMB (NT) has been guaranteed $3.6m in 2008-09. This is 60% of what was already seriously inadequate to address the large area, major NRM issues and scattered communities in the NT. Read more..

24 October 2006: Update from the Chairman

RIS07-10 Consultations: You may be aware that consultations are being undertaken for the next Regional Investment Strategy 2007-2010. The sessions are being held with selected stakeholders to get a representative view of how people are going with their projects and what issues are coming up in the regions.

We have received a couple of calls from groups who have not received an invitation to consult on the new RIS. It’s important to understand that these consultations are only one form of advice to the NRMB Directors. Given the time constraints, we felt it would be unfair to everyone to undertake another massive public consultation process. Read more in the Network Notes latest edition 13/10/2006...
