Catchments
There are 13 Catchment Management Authority regions in New South Wales. Catchment maps are available from www.cma.nsw.gov.au.
On page 1 of your application you are required to include the catchment area in which your project will be undertaken. The Trust requests that you use only the 13 CMA regions in NSW and not use subcatchments, with the exception of the greater Sydney region i.e use only:
- Border Rivers/Gwydir
- Central West
- Hunter/Central Rivers
- Lachlan
- Lower Murray Darling
- Murray

If your project is in the Hawkesbury-Nepean CMA you are required to identify your subcatchment i.e.
- Hawkesbury Nepean or
- South Creek.
