The Dryland Landscape Strategy
The GB CMA's Dryland Landscape Strategy was published in 2009. It was developed in response to rapid changes that are occurring in the dryland landscape, and that a new natural resource management approach was needed.
The Dryland Landscape Strategy promotes a shift to a new, integrated systems approach in the dryland part of the Goulburn Broken Catchment. This means integration at all levels of the business, from planning to operations and service delivery. The Dryland Landscape Strategy also heralds a change in emphasis from a threat based approach (pest plants and animals, salinity) to focussing efforts on protecting the Catchment's most important natural assets.
The Dryland Landscape Strategy introduces new strategic directions that outline our focus for the next three years:
- Lift the scale of positive on-ground change across the landscape.
- Grow and diversify investment in natural resource management.
- Promote environmentally sustainable and viable production systems.
- Boost targeted participation in natural resource management.
- Strive to be a leader in dryland catchment management.
- Adapt to climate change.
The process of developing the Dryland Landscape Strategy has already yielded benefits through bringing different partners (internal, external and the community) together to consider future directions, and assisting the identification of large scale on-ground projects that have been bid for under the Australian Government's Caring for Our Country program.
The GB CMA's Board approved the final draft of the Dryland Landscape Strategy on 13th February 2009.
