Landscapes range from coastal shores and estuaries to alpine and sub-alpine areas, including the legendary plains and the high country of the Monaro. This area supports a variety of land uses including a range of agricultural industries, commercial and recreational fishing, aquaculture, water harvesting, forestry, surface and underground mining, urban and lifestyle development, and tourism.
