Byron Shire included in development of Richmond River catchment CMP
Work has started on the development of the Richmond River Coastal Management Program (CMP), a long-term strategy for the management of the Richmond River catchment which includes parts of the Byron Shire.
In the past a Coastal Zone Management Plan focused on the management of the Richmond River in the Ballina, Lismore and Richmond Valley council areas.
“This time the plan is for a ‘whole of catchment approach’ to the Richmond River, recognising how the health of the upper catchments affect the lower reaches of the river,” Peter Boyd, Biodiversity and Agricultural Projects Officer, said.
