Meetings will be held during March 2014 in seven locations throughout NSW to hear about the Natural Resources Commission’s draft report on weed management.
Several weeks ago the commission released its draft report after being asked to review weed management by the NSW Minister for Primary Industries.
We are delighted that many of the key reforms we had been seeking have been embraced in the draft recommendations.
Please attend one of the public meetings being held by the NSW Natural Resources Commission during March 2014. Meetings will be held at Grafton, Armidale, Dubbo, Cowra, Sydney (Parramatta), Wagga Wagga and Nowra.
To learn about the draft report, see our submission guide. Submissions are due Sunday 6 April 2014.
