About the Natural Resources Advisory Council
The Natural Resources Advisory Council (NRAC) was established by the NSW Government in 2004 as a single source of integrated stakeholder advice on high level natural resources management (NRM) and land use issues. NRAC reports to the Hon. Carmel Tebbutt MP, Deputy Premier, Minister for Climate Change and Environment and Minister for Commerce.
2009 NSW Landcare Awards
The Natural Resources Advisory Council is proud to be hosting the 2009 NSW Landcare Awards in partnership with Landcare Australia Limited, the NSW Catchment Management Authorities, the NSW Landcare Committee and the Department of Environment and Climate Change.
Aboriginal Natural Resource Agreements
Since 2004 NRAC has been working to overcome barriers to Aboriginal Peoples' full participation in natural resource management and to raise awarness of the possibility of Aboriginal Natural Resource Agreements. An ANRA kit has been developed to explain and assist the process of agreement making.
