Caring for our Country business plan 2009-10
Source: Australian Government
"In its first five years (from July 2008 to June 2013), the Australian Government will invest $2.25 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 resource management groups, local, state and territory governments, Indigenous groups, industry bodies, land managers, landcare groups and other community groups, and non-government organisations."
