The SMCMA has completed its draft Catchment Action Plan (CAP). The CAP will guide the activities of the SMCMA while forming the basis for partnerships with the community, business, industry and government. The draft CAP will assist the SMCMA in ensuring that natural resource management projects are undertaken in priority areas within the catchment, and that these projects lead to the best outcomes for the environment and the community. There are five themes: biodiversity, land use, water, community and coastal. 

The draft CAP is currently under review by the Natural Resources Commission.  They are providing further input regarding the Catchment Targets and Management Targets.  The revised targets will be incorporated into the final version of the CAP in 2009.

A copy of the SMCMA CAP targets can be downloaded from the publications section of the website.
