As a component of the North East Regional Catchment Strategy (NERCS), this Salinity Strategy is part of the ‘big picture’ in addressing land degradation in the North East Region. The NERCS identified salinity and rising watertables as a major threat with this Strategy aiming to address salinity over the next 30 years.
This Salinity Strategy is the culmination of two and a half years of work by members of the North East Salinity Working Group (NESWG). The group was made up of landholder representatives from Landcare groups with salinity in the Ovens River, Blackdog Creek, Indigo Creek catchments, the Upper North East and representatives from the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and Charles Sturt University.
