Description:... "Councils are important agents for delivering natural resource management (NRM) in NSW. They have many statutory responsibilities to do so, and in particular the Local Government Act Charter specifies that Councils must abide by Ecologically Sustainable Development principles. NRM is also a role which is often expected of a council by its community, and the challenge which local government shares with other NRM agencies is to maintain a natural landscape which sustains the activities of future generations." -- Vol. 1, p. 1.
