5Why map landscape values?
- Lack of systematic methods for identifying and
integrating community values into NRM - Values are linked to political acceptability of
land-use decisions - Integral to Goal 3 of the State NRM Plan (Peoples
and Communities) - 3.4.4 Seek and value the knowledge, skills and
expertise of local people, including Aboriginal
landholders, in planning and on-ground delivery - Identify place-specific priorities for NRM
investment.

17Implications for NRM planning
- Systematic and representative process
- Transparent
- Identify areas of values conflict and special
management concern - Overlay with other land attributes for integrated
resource management - Recognises the role of non-use values in resource
decision making - Provides a baseline for monitoring and evaluation
