LAND AND WATER

Our aspiration is for our region to be recognised for its best-practice sustainable land-use, with farming closely aligned to the land’s capability, and supported by improved and protected base resources (soil, air, biodiversity, water).

We aspire for south coast rivers, estuaries, wetlands and water resources to be restored, maintained and protected so that their social, cultural, economic and ecological values can be recognised and embraced.

HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS

Our aspiration is for healthy natural ecosystems, habitats and landscapes supporting viable and strongly resilient populations of native species and communities. coastal and marine environments to be improved by reducing key threats through a community-led approach that embraces social, cultural, economic and ecological values.

CULTURAL HERITAGE

Our aspiration is for all natural resource management actions in the South Coast region to recognise and respect natural cultural heritage values. Aboriginal practices, spiritual and cultural values are considered across all themes, to support conservation and protection of our natural environment.
