NRM Plan annual pulse survey

The South East Queensland Natural Resource Management Plan is developed by the community of South East Queensland to protect and enhance our region’s natural assets.

This short annual pulse survey helps to ensure we have dynamic information on any changes across our region, so we can ensure the priorities and strategies in our region’s NRM Plan are moving with and adapting to the changing environments and supporting our communities in the best way possible.
