Strategy Development

This Strategy’s development began with consultations with key stakeholders from September to October, while broader public consultation and feedback was gathered by the Board throughout the year.

A draft strategy was developed and released by the Board for confidential review by the Landcare Council of the NT and the Australian and Northern Territory governments through a Commonwealth/NT Joint Steering Committee. Comments from these stakeholders were incorporated, with the Board signing-off on the strategy in April. The Regional Investment Strategy was then presented to the four sponsoring Ministers for final review and endorsement. On receiving Ministerial authority, this Regional Investment Strategy was launched and procurement for the fiscal year began.

Ministerial approval is for the 2007-2008 fiscal year, the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 out years are indicative allocations and will be revisited by the NRMB(NT).  All out year allocations are subject to Ministerial approval.
