To support implementation of the extension to the Natural Heritage Trust, ERIN has compiled and maintains a national spatial database of all NRM regional boundaries. These boundaries provide the delivery and reporting framework for the regional component of the NHT. There are 56 NRM regions across Australia where funding is delivered.
The data has been compiled from State and Territory supplied regional boundaries to form a national dataset with consistent attribution. For a consistent national dataset, the Geoscience Australia 1:100,000 Coastline and State borders dataset was used in conjunction with the internal NRM region boundaries provided by the States.
Please note, from time to time States/Territories revise their regional boundaries in accordance with local legislation. It is envisaged that the boundaries will not change dramatically from those agreed under the bilateral agreements between the States/Territory and the Commonwealth however minor alterations will occur. The dataset is regularly updated to reflect these changes.CC - Attribution (CC BY)
