All land use changes have an impact beyond the immediate area.
| |
| |
Land management, depending on the land's use, is assigned to different government departments - which means that, today, overall watershed planning and management requires cooperation between diverse interests.
Development services, park management, environment protection, public recreation, infrastructure, utilities and transportation - all have an impact on habitat areas, water quality, and watershed function.

| |
Monitor government activities, review proposals, support existing legislation which protects the environment and habitat areas, lobby for new or improved policies.
