Salinity Hazard for Catchment Action Plan (CAP) Updates: Lachlan CMA Area - August 2012

The thirteen NSW Catchment Management Authorities (CMAs) are required to update their Catchment Action Plans (CAPs) in a process to be completed by early 2013. The CAPs are required to be "Whole of Government" in order to provide greater coherence between policies and plans as they develop strategic direction at regional levels. CAPs must align with or take into account common elements of agency activity, and require a high level of co-ordination. ;\r\nA cross agency team was employed in December 2011 to produce a salinity tool for CAP updates, as a Salinity Hazard for CAP Updates project. This project has been funded by Catchment Action NSW.;\r\nThe primary output of the Salinity Hazard for CAP Updates project is a broad scale salinity hazard spatial coverage and report for each CMA. The product referred to in this metadata statement is produced for the Lachlan Catchment Management Authority (LCMA) for use in upgrading its Catchment Action Plan (CAP). The Lachlan CAP is a cabinet approved document which outlines the investment priorities and delivery targets for natural resource management across the LCMA area. The LCMA is currently reviewing and upgrading the CAP which was developed in 2004-05.

新南威尔士州（New South Wales, NSW）下辖的13家流域管理局（Catchment Management Authorities, CMAs）需依规更新其流域行动计划（Catchment Action Plans, CAPs），所有更新工作须于2013年初前完成。流域行动计划需遵循“全政府协同”原则，以在区域层面制定战略方向时，强化各项政策与规划间的协调性；此类计划必须契合或纳入各机构活动的通用要素，且需高度的跨部门协调。
2011年12月组建的跨部门团队，以“面向流域行动计划更新的盐分危害评估”项目为依托，为流域行动计划的更新工作开发了一套盐分评估工具。本项目由新南威尔士州流域行动项目（Catchment Action NSW）资助。
本项目的核心产出为面向各流域管理局的大范围盐分危害空间覆盖数据集及配套报告。本元数据说明所指代的成果，是为拉克兰流域管理局（Lachlan Catchment Management Authority, LCMA）开发的、用于升级其流域行动计划的产品。拉克兰流域行动计划是经内阁批准的官方文件，明确了拉克兰流域管理局辖区内自然资源管理的投资优先级与交付目标。目前，拉克兰流域管理局正在对2004-2005年制定的原流域行动计划进行审查与升级。
