Statutory Review of the Tasmanian NRM Framework and Legislation

In 2007 the Secretary of the Department of Primary Industries and Water, Kim Evans, undertook a review of the Natural Resource Management (NRM) Framework and the Natural Resource Management Act 2002 at the direction of the Minister for Primary Industries and Water, David Llewellyn.

The Final Report was produced following significant stakeholder and public consultation about the performance of the NRM Framework and legislation over the previous five years and ways in which it might be improved.

The Final Report contained 18 recommendations to improve and refine the NRM framework. The recommendations covered matters including the setting of State NRM priorities, the functions and membership of the Regional Committees, and the operation of the NRM Council. The bulk of the recommendations, including those requiring legislative amendments, were completed by June 2009. The State Government is committed to implementing the Final Report’s recommendations and this will be achieved by the end of 2009.
