About the document
This National Framework establishes the principles and requirements for natural resource management (NRM) standards and targets, to guide investment through national natural resource management programs, particularly investment through integrated regional NRM plans under the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality (NAP) and the Natural Heritage Trust (the Trust).
This framework sets out consistent national directions and approaches at all levels to natural resource planning, target-setting, action and performance measurement.
Elements of the Framework
The National Framework comprises:
- national natural resource outcomes - and a minimum set of matters for which regional targets are required, with associated national guidelines and protocols for regional target-setting, monitoring and reporting
- national standards defining best practice management of natural resources, applying principally to legislative, policy, process and institutional systems, which when adopted will assist in the achievement of national outcomes.
This framework sets out consistent national directions and approaches to natural resource planning, target-setting, action and performance measurement at all levels. Details of each element follow.
