An assessment of the long-term success of federal programs

have been attained, including those stated in the National Action Plan for
Salinity and Water Quality, National Heritage Trust and National Landcare
programs;
- the role that regional catchment management authorities
are required to play in management of salinity-affected areas, and the
legislative and financial support available to assist them in achieving
national goals; and
- what action has been taken as a result of
recommendations made by the House of Representatives' Science and Innovation
Committee's inquiry 'Science overcoming salinity: Coordinating and extending
the science to address the nation's salinity problem', and how those
recommendations may be furthered to assist land-holders, regional managers and
affected communities to address and reduce the problems presented by salinity.
