Investing in the plan

The Council sees the plan as a blueprint for investment in natural resource management by a range of investors including: government, business, not-for-profit organisations, community organisations and individuals. All have a part to play in achieving the targets laid out in this plan. The ACT and Australian governments are major investors as are organisations such as ACTEW Corporation, ActewAGL and the National Capital Authority. Although there is no legal requirement for the ACT Government to implement this plan either in part or whole, the ACT NRM Council will continue to engage with the Minister and the Commissioner for Sustainability to increase take-up of this plan in statutory documents relating to natural resources in the ACT.

The Council will develop an investment strategy for implementing this plan over the next five years. This strategy will reflect the part played by all investors.

Government investment in the plan is through ongoing programs and specific initiatives, such as the recently announced Caring for our Country program. This Australian Government program will be delivered in the ACT in partnership with the ACT Government and the ACT NRM Council through a series of integrated programs that build on the existing Living Environment programs.

Caring for our Country and this plan will both address national priorities. With this in mind, The ACT and Australian governments, with advice from the ACT NRM Council, have agreed on the 2008/09 investments through Caring for our Country. Beyond 2008/09, Caring for our Country investment will depend on an annual business plan and bilateral agreements between the ACT and Australian governments.

Caring for our Country also provides the opportunity for collaborative partnerships that access a contestable funding component. This will allow the leveraging of investment from a variety of sources with multiple benefits.

Other strategies being developed to assist effective implementation of the plan are the:

  • Communications Strategy

  • Capacity Building Strategy and

  • Knowledge management strategy

  • Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Strategy.
