Integrated Catchment (or Regional) Assessment

Product Information

A National Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (NM&EF) has been developed by the Australian and State / Territory Governments to help monitor and report on the impact of the NAP and NHT. The NM&EF sets out broad “Matters for Target” which are to be reported on, using a range of possible indicators.

A key role for the National Land and Water Resources Audit is to report against these matters for target and indicators, with the aim, over time, of assisting the assessment of the effectiveness of the NAP and NHT.

A workshop was held in August 2004 with representatives from Commonwealth and State/NT agencies and some regional organisations to discuss the needs for integrated regional assessments. The workshop identified a number of possible activities that the Audit could undertake.
