(Funded by Caring for Our Country)



This project employs a coordinator to provide the Southern ACT Community with on-going support and coordination for the protection and development of our environment. This project will enable the Southern ACT Catchment Group Inc. to:

• increase community awareness and understanding of NRM:

• encourage and support local Landcare, Park Care, Waterwatch and other community groups with planning, funding and monitoring of their areas;

• empower the community to take part in actions that will address local environmental issues, toward achieving regional NRM targets;

• establish and maintain effective partnerships between local government, community, schools, industry and the NRM network;

• Develop understanding, skills, motivation and capacity of the community by facilitating technical support, capacity building and engaging the community in on-ground activities.
