Northern Agricultural Catchments Council (NACC)

Managing Natural Resources

NACC is a non-profit organisation owned and directed by the people of the Northern Agricultural Region. The region covers an area of more than 7.5 million hectares, from Kalbarri in the north to Gingin in the south to the edge of farming country in the east. NACC manages natural resources in the region in partnership with local communities, and the three tiers of government, providing leadership, advice and on-ground support for natural resource management (NRM) issues and projects.

One of NACC's key roles has been the preparation of the region's natural resource management strategy and investment plan. The 2005/06 investment plan has allocated more than $8million to NRM projects throughout the region. You can view the strategy by clicking on the strategy link above or by clicking here.
