Chair and the CEO
This provides funding certainty for the next four years,
and heralds the start of some exciting new projects.
We have been developing a new corporate strategic plan
that will chart the course of our organisation for the next
five years.
In a broader context, it is clear that the landscape for
NRM is changing, and we need to continue being
proactive so we can shape our future. To this end we
have been working hard to diversify our funding streams
and develop new fund ing opportunities.
This includes working with Terrain NRM and
environmental markets investor GreenCollar to develop
a Reef Credits initiative, as well as exploring other
environmental market opportunities.

At the time of writing, NQ Dry Tropics and Southern Gulf
NRM were in merger talks that could result in a merged
organisation delivering NRM across 20 per cent of the
state.
This is one of a number of reform initiatives occurring
around Queensland aimed at keeping the NRM model
intact. This ‘whole of Queensland coverage’ gives us
advantages and opportunities not available to individual
organisations.
