South Coast NRM is the leading independent natural resource management organisation in the South Coast region of Western Australia. As an organisation, we are committed to preserving and enhancing the region’s natural and cultural assets, and fostering strong partnerships with local communities, Indigenous groups, and stakeholders.
For thousands of years, Noongar/ Nyungar people have resided on and had cultural connection to the boodja – land. The South Coast region is Noongar boodja, koolark – heart Country to Menang, Goreng, Wadjari and Njunga First Nations peoples. We deeply value the relationships we hold with the Aboriginal community, organisations, and Native Title bodies that we work with to care for Country and people.
