Darwin Harbour
Improving the Stewardship of Darwin Harbour
On 1 June 2010 the Northern Territory Government endorsed the Darwin Harbour Strategy (the Strategy) prepared by the Darwin Harbour Advisory Committee.
The Strategy is a comprehensive guide for the responsible stewardship and sustainable development of the Darwin Harbour region and supports the integrated management of the Darwin Harbour region’s diverse environmental, social, cultural and economic values and uses. To achieve this aim, the Strategy provides policy and decision makers within government, industry, commerce and the community with clear goals and guidelines to realize these goals. The five key goals are:
Goal 1: To maintain a healthy environment.
Goal 2: To support recreational use and enjoyment of the environment.
Goal 3: To ensure that development is implemented in an ecologically sustainable manner.
Goal 4: To protect cultural values and heritage.
Goal 5: To foster community awareness, industry partnerships and stewardship of the Darwin Harbour region.
