The Role of the Condamine Alliance and other Regional Entities

Regional bodies are crucial to the delivery of outcomes under the NAP. They will develop, implement and monitor natural resource management (NRM) strategies in each region. This will involve:

developing strong community input and participation in strategy development and implementation;

• building strong partnerships between stakeholders in regions;
• fostering extensive information sharing and communication; and
• monitoring and reporting on NRM outcomes.

A key challenge for the Condamine Alliance (and other regional bodies) is to incorporate social and economic issues into the design of regional NRM plans. Consideration will also be given to the economic and social impacts that result from the implementation of regional NRM strategies.

The Board of the Condamine Alliance comprises:

Like all effective planning, that involving NRM cannot be carried out in isolation. It must be strategic and be fully integrated with all other aspects of regional planning including land use, transport, economic development, and technology/communications. The Condamine Alliance's comprehensive partnership with a broad range of stakeholders will be strengthened through it's direct relationship with the EDRPAC, ensuring that the integrated NRM planning process has legislative underpinning.
