About NRM North
NRM North was established in March 2003 through a community-driven process in response to the Tasmanian Government’s Natural Resource Management Framework and its enabling legislation, the Tasmanian Natural Resource Management Act 2002 (2009 Amendments). They are responsible for the planning, delivery and implementation of integrated natural resource management (NRM) in Northern Tasmania.
NRM North’s vision is to "be the leading non-government organisation that produces results in natural resource management across northern Tasmania." They work in partnerships with stakeholders to develop the best ways to protect, conserve and manage the natural resources for future generations.
Their vision is supported by the following principles:
-
Whilst the government provides the majority of funding for the activities of the organisation, NRM North is independent in its decision making and actively seeks funding from non-government sources.
-
They aim to positively influence the way people view and manage the natural resources of the northern region and get relevant activities happening on the ground.
-
NRM North recognises that northern Tasmania is made up of the sub-regions of Break O’Day, Dorset, Furneaux, Meander Valley, Northern Midlands and Tamar. (Defined by local government boundries) NRM North’s approach to community engagment reflects this sub-regional composition.
