The Regional NRM Plan for the Border Rivers and Maranoa-Balonne catchments (referred to as the NRM Plan area and the Plan) seeks to ensure that social, economic and environmental values are balanced so that the broader community's long term vision for a sustainable future is achieved. This has been the vision for the Plan since it was first developed by the community in 2004. It has, however, never been more relevant than now - as our work towards sustainability will position the region's response to the challenges posed by climate change.
