Sub-Catchment Planning
Sub-Catchment Plannin
g is a program that supports groups of landholders working together to identify natural resource management (NRM) issues and develop local solutions.
This program provides opportunities for people to share ideas, gather information, support one another through difficult times, and (most importantly) tackle natural resource issues in a coordinated way. Supporting Sub-Catchment Planning is a major part of QMDC's business.
Achievements
People in over 30% of our region are now involved in Sub-Catchment Planning activities, and new groups are forming all the time. Currently, about 120 groups are working with QMDC, 22 of which have received funding to implement their sub-catchment plans.

What’s Involved?
Essentially, the Sub-Catchment Planning process involves forming a group, working together to identify NRM issues, gathering information, planning local solutions, and monitoring the progress of the group’s actions.
QMDC’s Sub-Catchment Planning program has recently undergone an extensive review process. This means that the above guidelines are currently being reviewed. New guidelines will be uploaded as soon as they become available.
