Enabling prosperity for
all West Australians
NRMWA Capability Statement
Natural Resource Management WA (NRMWA) is the peak body for NRM in Western Australia, representing the State’s largest and most experienced network of environmental delivery organisations. With almost three decades of proven landscape-scale delivery across the network, NRMWA brings together regional NRM organisations, Traditional Owners, landholders, industry and government around practical, science-based solutions for Western Australia’s unique environmental challenges.
Why NRMWA?
WA’s trusted NRM network: Deep local knowledge, proven delivery, and sector-wide reach.
Strategic solutions: Designed for compliance, transparency, and long-term success.
Partnership-first: Embedding Traditional Owner outcomes and stakeholder collaboration at every stage.
Future-focused: Ready to support WA’s transition to a sustainable, climate-resilient future, with net gain for the environment.
PARTNERS
NRMWA works closely with government, corporate, philanthropic, and community partners to coordinate landscape-scale projects that the regional NRM network delivers, with economic, social and environmental benefits across Western Australia.
Projects are structured and managed to maximise the return to partners, Australia more broadly, and Western Australia in particular. Drawing on the substantial resources in local communities and within the NRM sector, NRMWA takes a commercial approach to getting outcomes delivered efficiently and effectively.
OUR CORE CAPABILITIES
Landscape-Scale Environmental Delivery
The regional NRM network delivers large-scale restoration and sustainable land management across WA, with NRMWA coordinating at the statewide layer, achieving measurable outcomes for biodiversity, water, soil, and climate resilience.
Strategic Policy and Program Leadership
We work closely with government, industry, and communities to align on-ground delivery with national and state environmental priorities, piloting innovative approaches in stewardship finance and digital transparency.
Traditional Owner Partnership & Co-Design
Traditional Owner co-design starts at concept on culturally significant sites, embedding cultural knowledge, employment and governance, and integrating Indigenous fire and land management practices into mainstream NRM programs.
Long-Term Stewardship & Governance
Our work is guided by transparent governance, sound financial management, and outcomes-based Environmental Management Plans developed with independent experts and stakeholders.
Monitoring, Reporting & Verification (MRV)
We apply robust MRV systems that combine remote sensing, field data, and public dashboards, supported by annual reporting and independent verification where the condition requires it.
Partnerships & Collaboration
Through strong partnerships with government, industry, landholders, and leading NFPs, we coordinate multi-stakeholder initiatives that deliver shared value and impact across WA’s landscapes.
