About this document

Since the late 1980s facilitator and coordinator networks have played an important role in supporting community groups to achieve effective on-ground results aimed at sustainable natural resource management.

In March 2002 the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Warren Truss, and the Minister for the Environment and Heritage, David Kemp, announced interim arrangements for up to 650 facilitator/coordinator positions during 2002/03 to assist the community in the transition from the first to the second phase of the Natural Heritage Trust.

In making this announcement, the Commonwealth Government undertook to conduct an analysis of the needs and options for, and roles and responsibilities of the facilitator and coordinator networks in the delivery of the extension of the Trust from 2003/04 to 2006/07. This paper seeks your input to that analysis to be undertaken by the Commonwealth [Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry - Australia (AFFA) and Environment Australia (EA)] in consultation with the States and Territories.
