- Regional natural resource management (NRM) groups have different management plans for diverse settings throughout Australia. It can be difficult for people outside specific regions to fully appreciate these diverse and distinct social, economic, geographic and cultural environments in which you each work. For this reason the Australian Government is keen to see each regional NRM group guide the implementation of their plans in a way that responds to regional difference. Yet we are also keen to see that all interested parties have opportunities to contribute to NRM in ways that reflect their needs. Indigenous people throughout Australia have links to the land and sea that are historically, spiritually and culturally strong and unique. In respecting these links, we encourage regional NRM groups to engage and form partnerships with Indigenous people so that their interests are incorporated in regional planning and the implementation of plans. This publication identifies nine guiding principles for promoting Indigenous participation in regional NRM planning. It highlights some key issues to consider and identifies a number of positive approaches that can be adopted. Finally it provides a checklist of questions designed to improve engagement of Indigenous leaders and organisations
