Figure 14: Program Logic Model

GOAL

“The Manning River, its tributaries and the estuary give life to our community connecting the mountains to the sea. Together w manage the catchment holistically and respond to a changing climate - safeguarding environmental, social, cultural and economic values.”

ULITIMATE OUTCOMES 50years

Manning catchment, river, estuary and marine receiving waters are healthy and resilient.

INTERMEDIATE OUTCOMES 10years (2030)

Improved land management practices reduce pressures on ecosystem health and resilience

SHORT-TERM OUTCOMES 5years (2025)

Evidence-based science informs ongoing management of the catchment and estuary.
