Katherine Regional Weed Management Strategy 2005-2010

Department of Natural Resources,

Environment and the Arts Weed management is complex enough without trying to deal with coordination across layers of Government, land tenure and land uses in the Katherine region. This strategy will provide a common focus for all land managers and stakeholders to work towards common community issues while also addressing their own priority issues on a property, district or catchment basis through their own plans. It also provides the fundamental framework for succession planning so future land managers and government officers have a documented plan, which will provide direction and focus and prevention of “re-inventing the wheel”. The action plan will also identify gaps, which need to be addressed in the region if weed management is to be successful.
The Katherine Weed Management Strategy’s overriding purpose is to provide a healthier and more productive landscape where the impacts of weeds are minimised. The strategy is pro-active ensuring the Katherine region’s current weed status is maintained or enhanced.
