Components of a Wetlands Strategy
Further Information

The Wetlands Strategy for Tasmania provides much-needed direction for Tasmania’s decision-makers, land managers and community groups whose activities impact on wetlands.

Aims

The Wetlands Strategy has put into place a decision-making framework that ensures the conservation and good management of wetlands. The strategy aims to:
  • establish a broad framework and goals, within which specific actions and decisions can be taken
  • ensure a much greater focus on wetlands in existing mechanisms
  • encourage cooperation between decision-makers at all levels of government and the community, in wetland conservation and management.

Components of a Wetlands Strategy

Vital components of a Wetlands Strategy are:
  • integrated land use and catchment management
  • community involvement and stewardship in wetland conservation and management
  • greater cooperation and integration of decision-making between State agenices, local government and individual landholders.
