Hawkesbury-Nepean CMA
The Hawkesbury-Nepean catchment's natural landscapes are incredibly varied, from rainforests to open woodlands, heathlands to wetlands, and highland freshwater streams to the magnificent Hawkesbury River estuary. Although many of these landscapes have been altered by development and agriculture, almost half of the catchment is allocated to national parks and water catchment reserves. The Hawkesbury-Nepean CMA has been replaced by the Greater Sydney Local Land Services. Find us here: greatersydney.lls.nsw.gov.au/
The following materials have been designed to provide land and fire managers, landholders and communities with regionally specific information about vegetation communities, fire ecology and fire management for the Hawkesbury-Nepean CMA, including:
