Land & Water Management

Land an Water Management Plan Areas

Renmark to the Border Local Action Planning Association's area covers four distinct Land and Water Management Plans (LWMPs): Merriti, Ral Ral, Pike River, and Murtho. Pike River and Murtho have been part of a recent regional case study, and had their LWMPs upgraded in 2006 (see below).

The implementation of the Murtho and Pike River Land and Water Management Plans is overseen by their steering committees: Murtho Road Irrigators Association; and The Pike River Land Management Group, respectively. These groups are both sub-committees of the Renmark to the Border Local Action Planning Association. The LWMP Implementation Officer, employed by the LAP, with support from SAMDBNRMB, provides executive support to these groups.

Land and Water Management Plan Upgrades

November 2006 saw the completion of the upgraded Murtho Strategic Environment Initiative (SEI), and the upgraded Pike River Land and Water Management Plan (LWMP). These are comprehensive documents that look at the regions geographical properties, economy, threats and remediation options that have been identified by the local community.

The Murtho SEI covers the area north from Paringa along the Murtho Road to the Victorian border.
The Pike River LWMP covers the area east from Paringa along the Sturt Highway, along the Loxton-Paringa road and incorporates Lyrup and Lyrup Heights.
