Management Authority (CMA) has
announced its 2009-2010 commit-
ments to natural resource manage-
ment following the NSW State Budg-
et. The NSW government will invest
$6.02 million in the Northern Rivers
CMA to manage native vegetation,
invasive species, riverine ecosystems,
wetlands, soil condition, land capa-
bility, economic sustainability, and
capacity. This includes $1.97 million
under Catchment Action NSW to de-
liver on-the-ground programs, a 38%
increase over 2008-2009, and $4.05m
for staffing and the administrative
costs of managing NSW Government,
Commonwealth Government and all
other investment in natural resource
management in the NRCMA region.
The Chair of the Northern Riv-
ers CMA, Dr Judy Henderson, said
the CMA would fund and manage
a number of programs including 15
Community Support Officers and
three Aboriginal Extension Officers to
engage the community and build ca-
pacity to look after natural resources.
Projects include $562,000 to im-
