The Southern Tasmanian Weed Strategy consolidates weed management activities in the region, identifies emerging issues and sets clear achievable outcomes. It provides a framework for improving weed management decision making and on-ground outcomes across the region and for developing effective partnerships to ensure a coordinated approach.
The Derwent Catchment Review project was initiated by organisations with a significant interest in the management of water quality and quantity in the greater Derwent catchment: NRM South, Derwent Estuary Program, Southern Water, Hydro Tasmania, DPIPWE and Derwent Catchment NRM. The main purpose of the review was to build upon earlier reviews of water quality issues in parts of the Derwent catchment undertaken by individual stakeholders (Coughanowr, 2001; Hydro Tasmania, 2001; Andrew, 2002; Hobart Water, 2006), and to integrate this information with more contemporary datasets across the entire catchment.
Owing to the size of the files the report is presented here in four parts.
