The New South Wales Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) is spearheading several pilot projects as part of the Marine Estate Management Strategy. One such project is the Risk-based Framework for Regional Waterway Health, which is designed to explore ways in which government, industries, and local communities can collaborate more efficiently to enhance the ecological health of the Richmond River. The primary focus of this project is to enhance the coordinated management of diffuse source runoff and overall waterway health for the Richmond River.
This project aimed to
- Develop a governance assessment framework in collaboration with DCCEEW, which will establish governance indicators and approaches to monitor and evaluate progress towards the objectives of the Risk-based Framework for Regional Waterway Health project; and
- Apply such framework to undertake a baseline assessment.
