About this document
In its first five years (from July 2008 to June 2013), the Australian Government will invest over $2 billion through Caring for our Country to secure improved strategic outcomes across six national priority areas:
- the National Reserve System
- biodiversity and natural icons
- coastal environments and critical aquatic habitats
- sustainable farm practices
- natural resource management in northern and remote Australia, and
- community skills, knowledge and engagement.
Caring for our Country will be delivered in partnership with regional natural resources management groups, local, state and territory governments, Indigenous groups, industry bodies, land managers, farmers, landcare groups and communities.
This document outlines the specific outcomes that Caring for our Country will deliver in its first five years of operation, and the potential strategies for achieving these outcomes.
The document places these outcomes in the context of 20 year projections of the results the Australian Government expects Caring for our Country to deliver in each of the six national priority areas.
