TECHNOLOGY IN NRM
“Western Australia's vast landscape and seascape, intricate web of biodiversity and other natural resources are conserved, managed and used sustainably for the common good, and the community is involved in management and planning processes that are transparent and visionary.”
State Sustainability Strategy 2003

TECHNOLOGY IN NRMWhen thinking about
technology…
• Selecting – skills in house, opportunities for collaboration, existing technologies
• Implementing – total cost of ownership, opportunities for collaboration
• Maintaining – active maintenance & ongoing support
• Engagement – internal & external

• “Easy to use online GIS for NRM” – built by the NRM community, for the NRM community.
• For NRM staff: document the naturalresources, and actions taken toconserve them
• For NRM managers: planning for future works, reporting back on actions
