Our Business Development Program is about turning ideas into action by working together to identify, develop and deliver new projects for the region.  

We’ve already done some thinking and identified five areas with thought-provoking questions for you to consider when submitting ideas. The areas are priorities from a regional perspective (identified in the 2021-27 North Central Regional Catchment Strategy) and also align with state and federal government key policy areas.

We can’t do what we do alone and for more than 20 years we’ve been partnering with landholders, community groups, Traditional Owners, non-government organisations, local government and state and federal government agencies. These partnerships have resulted in the delivery of a range of projects based on sound scientific and geographical understanding of the region’s natural resources.

Do you have an idea to improve or enhance the natural environment or build community capacity but don’t know where to start?

We’ve created an online form so you can submit your ideas and also identified themes (refer to link below for more information) to make it easy.  Specifically, we want to hear about your project ideas and how the CMA can help you get these projects delivered. Ideas could be how projects are delivered, who might be involved and how they are funded.

Our connection with others is one of our strong points. We’re better together. We’re well connected and able to deliver outcomes for the region using an integrated catchment management approach. Because of our connection we are also able to facilitate and enable investment for the region.

But don’t take our word for it, click on read more to hear from others with whom we’ve worked or continue to work with.  

Led by the North Central CMA, the North Central Catchment Partners Forum Regional NRM Prospectus highlights the success our coordinated approach to natural resource management is having, and the Forum’s vision for even better results with help from new investment partners.
