'The proponents shall develop in consultation with such persons and agencies as Government may specify, an integrated catchment management plan designed to meet the objective and targets specified in condition 2, to the satisfaction of the Environmental Protection Authority'. 2) The plan for the development of an Integrated Catchment Management approach in the Peel Harvey was submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection in December 1993 as part of a progress and compliance report for all ministerial conditions relating to the Peel Harvey. 3) The intent of the condition has been effected through the Integrated Catchment Management approach taken by the Department of Agriculture over the past 12 years. The main outcome of this initial Integrated Catchment Management Plan has been the building of community, local and state government capacity and infrastructure so they can effectively participate in the Integrated Catchment Management planning and implementation processes. The approach has been very successful resulting in the formation of four Land Conservation District Committees and over thirty landcare groups. These groups have developed local plans that have seen the implementation of land management activities to reduce nutrient runoff. These have included some 300km streamlining, 1400 ha revegetation as well as changes to farming practices. The ultimate aim of the Department of Agriculture plan was for the community to form a body representative of the whole catchment to continue the development of the Integrated Catchment Management plan. The aim was achieved in December of 2000 with the formation of the Peel Harvey Catchment Council who have now taken the lead, with support from Department of Agriculture, in Integrated Catchment Management planning. 4) Not applicable. 5) The Department of Agriculture intends to continue its contribution to the Integrated Catchment Management Planning process where it is relevant to the needs of the agricultural sector in the Peel Harvey. 6) Approximately $4.5 million of agency funding has been allocated over the past 10 years to resource and deliver the strategy to enable ongoing Integrated Catchment Management planning
