Get Involved
The Lachlan Catchment Management Authority (CMA) recognises that long-term natural resource change can only be achieved with the dynamic involvement of our community. Working sideby-side with our many partners, we encourage involvement and collaboration at each stage of the Natural Resource Management (NRM) process, from planning through to implementation.
Building productive and lasting relationships with clients from all sectors of our community is the cornerstone of our work, with much of the information we use being generated by local individuals and organisations who understand our catchment. These include landholders, community groups, industry groups, local government, and expert input from recognised and trusted research organisations.
We facilitate and coordinate partnerships to optimise NRM outcomes, and where possible we build multidisciplinary partnerships to include as much relevant skill and expertise as we can to boost project outcomes. As a contract manager Lachlan CMA offers our clients a powerful mix of technical skills in NRM, joint project management, and links to the general community, landholders, and potential project sites.
At the Lachlan CMA we make ourselves available to our clients and keep our actions focused on stakeholder needs through two major processes. Firstly, through our various networks in government, industry, and the catchment community, and secondly through our decentralised office structure which makes our staff easy to contact on a friendly, personal basis.
We have ten local offices with skilled and well-resourced staff located around the catchment, and all of our services can be accessed at each of these offices.
