Cumberland Plain Conservation Plan

Add alt text.

The Cumberland Plain Conservation Plan (CPCP) Research Program aims to solve challenging issues and barriers to create a greener, more sustainable western Sydney.

We partnered with Western Sydney University to create a 35-year research strategy, and have already successfully implemented the first 2 years of research.

The CPCP Draft Research Program Implementation Strategy Appendix 3 and 4 lists the knowledge gaps we have identified so far, as well as the outcomes and research areas needed to fill these gaps.

The draft CPCP Research Program Implementation Strategy was open for feedback from November 2022 until February 2023. The feedback the community gave will help shape the final CPCP Research Program Implementation Strategy and determine priority research areas for the next 4 years.
