2030 NRM Strategy
Protecting Tasmania’s Natural Resources
Cradle Coast Authority is one of 54 Natural Resource Management (NRM) organisations in Australia and one of three in Tasmania (alongside NRM North and NRM South) and was established in response to the Tasmanian Government’s Natural Resource Management Framework and its enabling legislation, the Tasmanian Natural Resource Management Act 2002.
The role of NRM organisations is to protect, sustainably manage and improve natural resources for the shared environmental, cultural, social and economic benefit of the community.
Land
Cradle Coast NRM protects land assets, focusing on Healthy Country, Resilient Landscapes, and Soil/Vegetation to promote sustainable landscapes and industries, ensuring resilience in changing environments.
Water
Cradle Coast NRM protects Tasmania’s vital water assets supporting industries and infrastructure, while climate change and emerging threats challenge water management linked to land and biodiversity efforts.
Biodiversity
The Biodiversity Theme highlights Tasmania’s diverse ecosystems, focusing on native assets. NRM organisations collaborate to protect habitats, ensuring resilience and essential services through community involvement.
