The Tasmanian Natural Resource Management Framework, launched in February 2002, was developed to provide Tasmania with a systematic way of integrating natural resource management, to ensure consistency, efficiency and improved natural resource management outcomes. It provides the administrative system by which the Tasmanian Government coordinates and integrates the activities of the wide range of entities that are involved in natural resource management in Tasmania. The Framework is based on three regions using the boundaries of the local government regional bodies (Cradle Coast Authority, Northern Tasmania Development and the Southern Tasmanian Councils Board).

Copies of the Framework are available free of charge from the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment from the NRM Support Unit Copies are also available at Service Tasmania. Alternatively you can download a copy of the Framework.
