What is NRM North?
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.
Our Programs
NRM North develop programs that recognise the need to balance the environmental, economic and social needs of the people of the region. We work in partnership with all stakeholders to determine appropriate investment and cost-sharing strategies in the management of our natural resources.
Biodiversity
The aim of the Biodiversity Program is to enhance landscape function for biodiversity, with a focus on protecting habitat for Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation species and communities.
Water
The aim of the Water Program is to maintain and enhance ecosystem health of the kanamaluka / Tamar estuary, and Brid and George catchments through water quality improvements.
Sustainable Agriculture
The Sustainable Agriculture Program aims to improve soil health and the adoption of best management practices in productive agricultural landscapes for improved profitability, sustainability, and resilience.
Circular North
Circular North provides advice, funding, and education to better manage waste and support innovative recycling initiatives within northern Tasmanian communities, businesses and local governments.
Our 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.
