The policy is designed to address the barriers to more effective natural resource management at the local government level. Countering complexity and establishing a desired outcome for the Camden landscape. "The project is significant regionally if not nationally. The policy represents local government taking the leadership role in natural resource management." Mayor of Camden, Cr Fred Anderson said.

"The adoption of the policy by Council represents a milestone in Camden’s journey towards sustainability".
