What are regional NRM bodies?
Regional NRM bodies are responsible for protecting and managing Australia's natural resources. To do this, regional NRM plans were developed. These plans outline how a regional body will identify and achieve the region's NRM targets.
There are 56 bodies in Australia. Fourteen of these are in Queensland.
For information on other regional bodies around Australia, visit the Australian Government NRM website.
