Our Landscape

Our Flaura and Fauna

The indigenous inhabitants of many tribes have occupied this region for many thousands of years. They were the original 'caretakers' of the land, waters and the life that sprang from them. Their relationship and co-existence with the natural resources this region offered has, in many valuable ways, helped shape the North Central Catchment Management Authority's (CMA) vision, which we now embrace as the new 'caretakers' of our precious natural resources.

This vision of 'a well informed, resourced and actively committed community, protecting and improving the natural resources for the environmental, social and economical benefit of our region' is as important to us now as it would have been to the original 'caretakers'.

Our Mission
