We are seeking nominations for an NCC representation on the Hunter Regional Weed Committee.
The purpose of the Hunter Regional Weed Committee (HRWC) is to provide ‘tenure neutral’ strategic planning and coordination of weed management activities at the regional level. These activities play an integral part in an overall state weed management framework.
The committee was established to:
- support implementation of the weeds components and underlining principles of the NSW Biosecurity Strategy, NSW Biosecurity Act and the NSW Invasive Species Plan 2015-2022
- provide advice to the Board regarding delivery weed functions for the Local Land Services consistent with the Local Strategic Plan
- to develop innovative and effective regional weed management strategic plans that consider risks, include all land tenure, and major stakeholders in the landscape
- provide a forum for the community and stakeholders in decision making, and develop communication education and awareness programs based on local and/or regional priority weeds and issues.
Candidates should ideally have a conservation land management background and be located in the lower Hunter region.
Membership on the committee provides a great opportunity for those interested to engage with weed management activities and networks.
Interested candidates should email their CV to [email protected].
