New Focus on Darwin Harbour
The draft Darwin Harbour Regional Management Strategic Framework 2009-2013 presents a policy framework and guidelines for the management of environmental, social, cultural and economic values and uses of the Darwin Harbour region. It acknowledges the needs for the community, industry and government to work together, to ensure the values of the region are recognised and conserved for current and future generations.
The purpose of the Strategic Framework is to provide policy and decision-makers within government, industry, commerce and the community, with clear guidelines that will foster an integrated and cooperative approach for activities within the region, to ensure that the region’s values and the function of its ecosystems are maintained.
The Darwin Harbour Advisory Committee is seeking community feedback on the draft Darwin Harbour Regional Management Strategic Framework 2009-2013 to ensure it reflects community aspirations for the harbour.
