END NOTES
1 As the focus of this report is on the role of local government it does not directly apply to the majority of the Northern Territory or the Australian Capital Territory. However, many of the principles discussed in this report will be relevant to the Territories. References to States government should be read as State and Territory governments throughout the report.
2 & 3 Appendix B summarises the current legal position in each State in relation to applying a range of policy tools including environment levies.
4 It is noted that this policy opportunity is very similar In its objectives to the targeted regional investments proposed under the Commonwealth Govemment's Natural Heritage Trust. The only real distinction lies in creating more formal structures and linking these to statutory processes. This is considered necessary as much of the 'Institutional infrastructure' being put in place for natural resource management is informal and, hence, not guaranteed to have a lasting impact.
