This publication examines the challenges of succeeding with a community-based approach to governance under Australia’s regional delivery model for natural resource management (NRM). More particularly, it explores the potential that ‘nesting’ of community-based systems within regions offers for addressing these challenges.

The report is aimed at leaders and decision makers at all levels of the Australian policy community (from local groups through to the Commonwealth Government) responsible for, or concerned with, promoting voluntary adoption of strategic on-ground NRM actions through community-based NRM.
