NRM Community Awards Presentation
The Liberal Government is proud to support the NRM Community Awards Presentation and I congratulate NRM North and Landcare Tasmania on this initiative.
We recognise the vital role played by Landcare, Coastcare and other community groups, and the essential support Landcare Tasmania and the regional NRM organisations provide these groups, allowing them to get on and do what they do best.
For this reason the Liberal Government has, despite the difficult Budget position, maintained funding to the three regional NRM organisations, and maintained funding to Landcare Tasmania for both its administration and the Landcare Assistance Program.
This funding will support directly and indirectly the work that volunteer groups do, by supporting on-ground works as well as contributing to administrative costs.
The Liberal Government remains committed to supporting community groups around Tasmania.
Sarah Courtney, Liberal Member for Bass
