Welcome to the page dedicated to our State of Environment reporting. Natural resource management is a core function of Horizons as set out in legislation, our strategic direction, policies and community outcomes. One of these requirements is to monitor and report on the state of our environment. The purpose of this document is to provide information to our community on the current state and trends of our natural resources. Also included are some case studies that highlight some of the work being undertaken to address key pressures.
This year we are reporting about our environment across each of the region's seven Freshwater Management Units (FMUs), proposed under the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020.
