DRAFT LANDSCAPE ROUND-UP - 2016 - MID NORTH & RANGELANDS
Informing a new Northern and Yorke Regional Natural Resources Management Plan
A crucial part of rewriting the Draft Northern and Yorke Natural Resources Management Plan is getting your feedback on the document.
We need to ensure that the voices of all stakeholder groups – including residents, landowners and community organisations – are taken into consideration.
Over the past few years we've been working with local community members, stakeholders and landowners to find out what issues matter to our region.
We've identified our natural resource assets, areas for improvement and threats facing the region, and have summarised the findings into the document attached.
We invite you to review the Landscape Round-up for the Mid North region to ensure that your voice is heard and the priorities for your natural resources are represented.
Please provide your feedback by Friday 28 October, 2016 by email, phone (08) 8841 3400 or post (Natural Resources Centre, Northern and Yorke, 2/17 Lennon Street, Clare, SA 5453).
For more information, click here.
We thank you for your input into developing a truly reflective Natural Resources Management Plan for the Northern and Yorke region.
