Environmental Management

The UTS Centre for Local Government has recently been working with the Local Government and Shires Association to develop guidelines for incorporating natural resource management (NRM) into local government planning schemes in NSW.

In undertaking the background research for this project, we have developed some research tools which may also be useful for councils who are shaping their response to the new Integrated Planning and Reporting reforms:


1. Industry Resources

This is a list of 17 pdf documents written by selected government departments, industry bodies, academics and consultants. Topics covered include NRM, community-based planning, performance reporting etc.


2. A Sample of Council Plans and Reports

This list covers a sample of 26 councils covering small, medium and large-sized councils, and includes weblinks to their key strategic documents - community strategic plans, management plans, annual reports, state of environment reports, local environmental plans and also their general NRM pages.
