The 2021-2025 NT Natural Resource Management Plan provides an overarching five year strategy for maintaining and enhancing the condition of our land and water resources, the productivity of our soils and the health of our natural habitats and biodiversity.

In the Northern Territory, primary industries rely upon productive natural resources for their continuing prosperity and have a strong interest in sustainable practices. Livestock production, horticulture and broadacre agriculture require efficient production and harvest. These processes must avoid the overuse of land, soil water and grass resources and must manage the threat of fire, weeds and feral animals. Biosecurity is also critical to the health and development of primary industries.
