NRM Plan feedback invited

Now is your chance to have your say on the plan that will guide the next decade of natural resources management on the Eyre Peninsula Natural Resources Eyre Peninsula.

Planning Officer Liam Sibly said consultation on the new draft Regional Natural Resources Management Plan would close on 7 February.

“If you haven’t already read the plan, we have some quick ways to get up to date,” Mr Sibly said.

“On Thursday, 19 January, we’ll be out the front of the Streaky Bay Natural Resources Management Office at 15 Bay Road, from 10am to 1pm.

“Call past for a chat, grab a copy of the plan and enter a competition to win a local produce hamper.”

“There’s also a short YouTube video to get an overview of the plan, and an online survey to provide your feedback, both of which can be found on our website.”

The plan outlines ten-year priorities for natural resource management, including coastal protection and water management, working with farmers and Aboriginal communities to care for the land.

Designed by the Eyre Peninsula Natural Resources Management Board, it is a collective plan for the region’s communities, organisations and businesses to work together for region-wide outcomes.

Board Presiding Member Diana Laube said the plan reflected what feedback from previous consultations, including the places and issues of importance.

“I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has already had input in the process whether by conversation or written submissions,” Ms Laube said.

“Collective ownership is the key to the success of this plan, and we welcome further input."

Consultation is open on the draft plan until 7 February.
