This ‘3 Year Plan’ presents strategic direction to ensure Wheatbelt NRM effectively responds to national, state and regional NRM needs. This will be achieved by engaging our community to actively support and progress our strategic objectives. This ‘3 Year Plan’ is supported each year by an Operations Plan that sets out how resources will be allocated and utilised in progressing the strategic objectives in this document.
The Wheatbelt Regional NRM Strategy guides NRM investment priorities within the region. The regional community provided important guidance to the development of the strategy, which reflects their values and understanding of the environment they live in and know.
Australia has an incredible diversity of bird species, with 898 recorded, including vagrants or accidental visitors and introduced species. Of this total, Western Australia has 550 species, 17 of which are found only in Western Australia. The Avon River Basin has a remarkable 224 recorded species - over 25 percent of the national total.
A vibrant Wheatbelt community that creates healthy environments and livelihoods
Feral animal control is a win-win for farmers and the Wheatbelt’s Wild Things
As part of our “Where The Wild Things Are” project, we’re on the lookout for Wheatbelt farms that want to protect their remnant eucalypt woodlands. Get in touch to see how we can work together to protect the unique Wheatbelt environment while taking steps to increase farm outputs.
Are foxes, cats and rabbits having an impact on your bottom line? They’re also taking out large numbers of native plants and animals across the Wheatbelt – including threatened species such as phascogales, numbats and the matchstick banksia.
Working together for Maximum Impact. Red Card for Rabbits and Foxes is a community based feral animal management program that operates across the agricultural regions of Western Australia.
Wheatbelt NRM has developed this Regional NRM Strategy to guide future understanding and priorities for the management of the natural resources of the Avon River Basin.
Understanding the likely impact of these changes on local communities, economics and industry and infrastructure is critical to help communities adapt to a changing climate.
