“…Brunckhorst (2000Brunckhorst ( , 2002, Parisi et al (2003Parisi et al ( , 2004 and Johnson et al (1999) have also pointed out that regions of similar biophysical attributes and climate have little correlation to either watershed topography or areas of interest to land use communities. Barham (2001) argued that processes of democratic deliberation that have evolved over long periods of time prior to the emergence of modern environmentalism cannot necessarily be fitted to catchment boundaries.…”

“…If the boundaries of natural resource governance regions cut through such an area, thereby also cutting through the community areas of a large number of people, local community participation and engagement will be greatly compromised. Indeed, it is likely that many residents will feel dissatisfied with consultative processes and the representation of their interests (Knight and Landres 1998;Shannon 1998;Reeve et al 2002aReeve et al , 2002bParisi et al 2003Parisi et al , 2004.…”

“…For this reason, a telephone survey of a number of community organisations with hierarchical structures of local, regional and state branches was undertaken. Use of key informants is an efficient way of gathering surrogate data or for 'ground-truthing' (Cheng et al 2003;Parisi et al 2003). Smailes (1987) and Tonts and Atherley (2005) have demonstrated the important role that sport plays in the structure of rural communities and regions, and the spatial expansion of interacting (or amalgamated) sporting organisations.…”

River catchments have been the dominant form of regionalisation for natural-resource management in many countries since the 1980s. Local governments play a considerable role in planning with ever-increasing responsibilities for sustainable environmental management, planning and development controls. There has also been an increasing emphasis on community participation in resource management, which emphasises the need to re-examine the requirements for spatial definition of resource governance regions. This paper proposes three principles. First, the nature and reach of environmental externalities of resource use should determine the size and nesting of resource management regions. Second, the boundaries of resource governance regions should enclose areas of greatest interest and importance to local residents. Third, the biophysical characteristics of a resource governance region should be as homogenous as possible, which provides resource planning and management efficiencies. The paper describes a range of concepts and empirical techniques used to apply these principles to the derivation of a resource governance regionalisation of the State of New South Wales, Australia.
