Australian Framework for Landcare
The Australian Framework for Landcare has been developed by the Landcare Community to help guide Landcare over the next 20 years.
Community Landcare
Community Landcare has a community based approach to sustainable resource management.
It is made up of individuals and groups with similar objectives including:
- Landcare
- Coastcare
- Bushcare
- Indigenous groups
- ‘Friends of’ groups
- Farming systems groups.
Community Landcare will guide and own the Australian Framework for Landcare.
Initial framework meeting
At a workshop in Melbourne on 30 April 2009 a small cross section of community Landcarers agreed enthusiastically that the first community-driven Australian Framework for Landcare should be developed.
Framework development
The Framework has been developed by the Australian Framework for Landcare Reference Group, which is made up of Landcare community members. The reference group has ensured that views expressed by the Landcare community are reflected accurately in the Framework document. The consultation period commenced in April 2009 and concluded with a public call for feedback on the draft Australian Framework for Landcare by 30 July 2010.
The final print version of the Australian Framework for Landcare was launched on 8 September 2010 in Sydney by Coral Love, Chair, Australian Framework for Landcare Reference Group as part of the National Landcare Week celebrations.
