Catchment Action Plan

• improve river health
• protect biodiversity and
• encourage best practice soil and land management.

These goals are underpinned by community and partnership programs which build community awareness and capacity, and support Indigenous community involvement.

The CAP sets clear targets and a timetable for the CMA's action and investment and is designed to be responsive to the changing needs of the catchment and the community.

The Hawkesbury Nepean CAP operates across the same area as the CMA's boundary (see catchment map).

The CAP is a non-regulatory statutory plan created under the Catchment Management Authorities Act 2003 (i.e. its contents are not legally binding or enforceable).
