MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
|
|
I feel very humbled to have been asked to fill the position of Chair of our organization; itxs a rare privilege to work with this dedicated community, executive and staff.
The integrity, commitment and openness of the people, along with the rich natural and cultural heritage, are what make the Lake Eyre Basin so unique. Our Basin is in a very healthy state and we have to continue our hard work to make sure it stays that way. We also have to make sure that governments, policy makers and funders recognize this and see the merit of continuing to support our whole-of-basin community process. The challenges before us are to continue to implement activities identified in our strategic plans; maintain an adequate level of funding; work closely with the new regional bodies in NSW, SA, NT and Q to ensure there is as much connectivity as possible; continue to support cross-border projects such as the Pig Control Project and Aridflo; and maintain the focus on the whole-of-basin, big-picture.
