Regional jobs, economic growth and resilience
NRM creates regional job opportunities, economic growth, and improves resilience in communities.
NRM programs create local jobs and business opportunities in regional areas, promoting growth, development and greater prosperity. NRM programs give more people more reasons to live in rural and regional places and support natural resources and healthy, vibrant communities. NRM organisations also support critical emergency and disaster response efforts. We build capacity to manage drought, climate variability and extreme weather events.
Innovation and collaboration
NRM is based on partnerships and dynamic collaborations that give life to innovation.
With over 100,000 people engaged and more than 35 years’ experience in land management, the 56 NRM regional organisations are built on collaboration and partnerships, and are uniquely placed to respond to opportunities and create innovations across Australia. It’s our collaborations and partnerships at the regional level that underpin our capacity to develop and share skills and knowledge and to innovate, resulting in a robust, strong and united approach to regional growth and land management Australia-wide.
