Welcome to the North Central Catchment Management Authority

Our organisation is the lead agency in north central Victoria coordinating and monitoring natural resource management programs for the region. We do this with a focus on managing and protecting our region's diverse environmental assets for the communities of north central Victoria.

The region is bordered by the River Murray to the north, the Great Dividing Range and Wombat State Forest to the south and Mt Camel Range to the east.

It's an area that covers around 30,000 km² (about 13 percent of Victoria) and is home to an abundance of diverse natural attractions from forested national parks to waterfalls, gorges and slowly meandering waterways and to a teeming assortment of flora and fauna, some of which are found nowhere else.
