Introduction</a> <P>In recent years, the community has become very much more aware of, and vocal about the urgent need to do something to ensure that our society becomes sustainable and our environment is managed, restored and protected for our future generations. That we must take action to repair the damage that has been done and stop the continuing damage. There is also a greater realisation that we must all take individual responsibility and participate in the process of natural resource and environmental management (NREM) by ensuring that our activities and lifestyles are sustainable. In particular, there is a greater awareness that effective NREM requires a commitment at an individual and local level, in partnership with Governments at all levels, Local, State and Federal. <P><a href="subdir=1999/sth_syd_plan/&filename=ch2">2.

As part of this process the Southern Sydney Catchment Management Board was formed after this report was printed. The Southern Sydney Catchment Management Board now has management responsibility for Catchment Management in Southern Sydney. <BR>Natural Heritage Trust applications for 2001-02 were invited for projects that addressed the priority natural resource and environmental management issues and outcomes for the Southern Sydney Catchment Management Board area. These priority issues were drawn from this Interim Strategic Plan produced by the Southern Sydney Regional Catchments Coordinating Committee (Bryan Hall). <P><u>Publication Details</u> <BR>Published Electronically on au.riversinfo.org by the Environmental Information Association (Incorporated).
