What is NRM North?

We are one of three formally recognised natural resource management organisations in Tasmania and one of 54 across Australia. NRM North works with industry and the community to care for our natural resources across our region in northern Tasmania.

NRM North Region

Our Region

The NRM North region of Tasmania covers 19,800 km2 and is bounded by some of Tasmania’s most outstanding and picturesque landscapes.

From Bass Strait, along the craggy peaks of the Western Tiers to the stunning beaches of the Bay of Fires and the unspoiled islands of the Furneaux and Kent Groups. More than 143,000 people live in the region, with the major urban areas based around Launceston and the Tamar Valley.

The valley is dissected by the iconic kanamaluka/Tamar estuary. At 70 km, it is Australia’s longest navigable estuary carrying the combined flows from over 10,000 km2 including the waters from the North Esk, South Esk, Meander, Brumby’s Lake and Macquarie Rivers.

Much of the region’s wealth is derived from industries such as agriculture, viticulture, forestry, tourism, fishing, aquaculture and recreation – all of which depend on our natural resources.
