NRM - DPIW Service Level Agreement 2008

This Agreement is a framework for managing the capture, management and exchange of data and information between the Department of Primary Industries and Water (DPIW) and the three Tasmanian NRM Regions - North-West (also referred to as the Cradle Coast), Northern and Southern Regions.

The Tasmanian NRM Framework is based on the notion of active community, industry and government participation, and on shared ownership of natural resource management issues and outcomes at the State, regional, local and individual levels.

Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting

The Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting (MER) project aims to enable the three Natural Resource Management (NRM) Regions to carry out monitoring, evaluation and reporting accurately and meaningfully. This will allow them to judge the performance of their NRM investments and, at the same time, meet the requirements of the National Monitoring and Evaluation Framework and the Standards and Targets Framework.

Attached below are the MER Project Business Plan and the MER Strategy for the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality (NAP) and the Natural Heritage Trust Extension (NHT) in Tasmania.
