The Strategy is based on three Objectives to achieve the Vision for the Catchment.

People (Baalap)

‘An Engaged and Active Community’

Successful NRM is as much about working with people as it is about natural resources. This includes providing direct and practical support to groups and individuals such as local government, community groups, Aboriginal people and farmers. Objective 1 is based on the experience that people who are engaged and involved in NRM have a benefit and impact far beyond their local patch. These benefits are not only environmental, but also social and economic. Goals, Strategies and Activities for Objective 1 can be found here.

Biophysical (Boodja)

‘A Healthy Catchment that Supports Life and Livelihood’

A Healthy Catchment that Supports Life and Livelihood is the core aim of natural resource management in the Peel-Harvey Region. All goals directly related to the condition of the Region’s natural resources are included under Objective 2. Goals, Strategies and Activities for this Objective can be found here

Knowledge (Kaadadjan)

‘Science and Knowledge Underpin Natural Resource Management’

Science, sound research and the sharing of information are key components of NRM in the Peel-Harvey Region. There is a wealth of scientific research and technical study that has occurred across the Region and it is essential that this is used by decision makers and natural resource managers to achieve a ‘Healthy Catchment that Supports Life and Livelihood’. There are also considerable knowledge gaps that need to be filled over the coming decade to support effective and cost-efficient NRM activities. The four goals under Objective 3 reflect the primary purposes of science and knowledge in NRM. Goals, Strategies and Activities for this Objective can be found here
