Launch of Draft Strategies
The Draft Strategic Plans
for the Lake Eyre Basin, the Georgina Diamantina catchment and the Cooper's Creek catchment were launched on 13th November 1999 at Birdsville. It was a very satisfying moment for the people involved in bringing the community consultative process to this point.

Release of the draft strategies for public comment followed months of planning within each catchment to identify and prioritise natural resource management issues and agree on actions and time-frames for dealing with them.

The strategy for the whole Lake Eyre Basin sought to bring together the issues raised at catchment level within a cooperative vision for the whole of the Basin.

Together the three documents established an integrated framework for action at regional and catchment level in partnership with governments, communities and industry.

They were preliminary documents. The launch marked the beginning of a six month public consultation process. Comments and additions were sought and response forms included with each strategy. The final strategies that were produced at the end of the consultation period have remained 'live' working action plans that are added to and modified as required.
