The recent Wallaby Creek Festival near Rossville wasn’t all song and dance.
Cape York Natural Resource Management (NRM) officers Bindi Woodland and Sigrid Wilkins were there at a pop-up stall to pick your brains and share information about projects.
One of the key roles of Cape York NRM, along with all regional natural resource management organisations, is to develop and maintain a community-owned NRM Plan for the region.
The plan provides a framework for the protection and sustainable use of natural resources such as land, water, soil, plants and animals.
NRM is currently developing a new plan for Cape York Peninsula.
The 2026–36 Cape York Peninsula Regional NRM Plan will set goals, actions and investment priorities for the future. The plan relies on community feedback, combined with science and traditional knowledge.
The community survey is open for the remainder of 2025 and can be completed at: www.capeyorknrm.com.au
