The Northern Rivers Regional Strategy

Description

The Northern Rivers Regional Strategy (NRRS) is the first attempt in Australia for a partnership of regional interests to proactively develop its own strategy. The strategy brings land use planning, economic development, social and environmental management issues together in a single plan.

The strategy is underpinned by ecologically sustainable development (ESD), so future growth and development maintains the natural advantages and lifestyle of the region.

The Northern Rivers ( link to Map) is a region that covers 20,896 square kilometres with a population of 250,000 people living in the ten local government areas of Tweed, Byron, Ballina, Kyogle, Lismore, Richmond Valley, Maclean, Copmanhurst, Grafton and Pristine Waters. The area includes Australia's most easterly point, Cape Byron as well as diverse communities and lifestyles. It extends from Grafton in the south to Tweed Heads in the north and west to the Great Dividing Range. Planning in the region is based upon the river catchments of the Clarence, Richmond and Tweed/Brunswick Rivers.
