2017-18 Central West Regional State of the Environment Report
(2018)
Abstract
Environmental issues are not restricted to Council boundaries. Regional State of the Environment (RSoE) Reports are recommended by the NSW Government (Australia) and used by some groups of Councils in NSW to enable a better understanding of the state of the environment in a regional context and to identify future collaborative pathways. More specifically, a regional approach to reporting:
• facilitates a better understanding of the state of the environment across the region
• encourages collaboration in regards to partnering on projects and sharing ideasand resources
• assists in the management of shared environmental resources
• forges stronger regional links across participating Councils.
The themes covered in this report were guided by those in the then Central West Catchment Action Plan. The themes are:
• Land
• Biodiversity
• Water and Waterways
• People and Communities
• Towards Sustainability
The report covers 145,000 square kilometres across 16 local Council areas in New South Wales, Australia.
