NCCMA Internet - What We Do

Catchment Region

The North Central Catchment Management Authority (CMA) plays a pivotal strategic role in managing north central Victoria's diverse and valuable natural resources in an area covering over 13 percent of Victoria and a population of over 200,000 people.

It is our intention to be regarded as Victoria's leading natural resource management practitioner; we are committed to sustaining and improving the management of natural resources within the north central region.

While delivery of the North Central Regional Catchment Strategy 2003-2007 remains a core business function of our organisation, integral to our role as 'caretakers' of our river health is our leadership and business performance including the management of the Environment Water Reserve created under the Water Act.

We are committed to ensuring we invest our human and financial resources wisely and productively; how we manage our natural resources - land, water, biodiversity and climate - is what will ultimately assist sustain our social and economic wellbeing for future generations.
