In 2005, researchers of Rainforest
CRC Project 1.1 Wet Tropics Regional Natural Resources Management
Plan, with the assistance of many scientists, industry
representatives and community members, finalised the accredited
publications Sustaining the Wet Tropics: A
Regional Plan for Natural Resource Management
2004-2008, published in conjunction with FNQ NRM Ltd
(now Terrain
NRM), the community-based Natural Resource Management (NRM)
Board for the Wet Tropics.
The Plan, as part of the Australian Government's requirements
for all regional NRM bodies across Australia, strategically
focussed regional investment to manage the natural resources and
cultural values of the Wet Tropics in a sustainable manner, and
incorporated management plans that were already in place. The
Plan also provided information for policy makers, landowners and
the general community about current issues facing the Wet Tropics
community and the possible actions to be taken.
Three supporting documents were prepared in 2004 to support the
overall Regional NRM Plan. These documents, along with the
Plan itself, are available for download here.
Further detailed information about the Wet Tropics Regional NRM
Plan can be accessed at the Terrain NRM website.
