Body

The Western Catchment Management Authority is the regional body responsible for implementing positive natural resource management change over a large geographic area of Western New South Wales (approx. 230 000 sq km). Currently, this authority (and the other 12 CMA's in NSW) has an emphasis on distributing financial incentives to encourage its stakeholders to participate in this change. To date, this emphasis has been extremely positive and led to significant levels of on-ground activity (especially the provision of new infrastructure such as fencing, pipelines, water points, goat traps etc). However, there has been little research to determine whether these funded activities have in fact produced the desired positive outcomes outside their initial action.
