The South Coast Regional Initiative Planning Team (SCRIPT) Inc is an incorporated non-profit association owned and directed by the people of the South Coast Region of Western Australia.

SCRIPT is not a statutory body. It is strongly independent, benefiting from a high degree of volunteerism, which reflects the strong sense of ownership and commitment within its community.

Engagement

SCRIPT embodies a close working relationship between community and government agencies. Of note is the input from government agencies via their regional managers and involvement and commitment of community stakeholder groups.

SCRIPT relies heavily on other key partners - the six SCRIPT subregional groups, LCDCs, farmers, tertiary institutions, environmental groups, Local Government, industry groups, non-government organisations, coastal and marine groups and Indigenous organisations.

Implementation

Implementation is directed by Working Groups made up from a wide range of natural resource management (NRM) stakeholders including community, industry, nongovernment, NRM Coordinators, local government, subregional groups and government agencies (see: People). These working groups will oversee implementation of the Strategy.

Challenges

The South Coast NRM Region covers an area of more than 6 million hectares including hinterland, coastal and marine environments. This geographical area embodies a unique medley of landscapes, habitats and eco-systems, each with their own threats, opportunities and priorities. Despite the challenges associated with the size of the Region, diversity of issues and complexity of equitable community consultation, the SCRIPT Investment Plan met all guideline criteria and was the only plan in WA to be approved for a three-year term.

Achievements

SCRIPT’s significant recent achievement is the development of a $74 million Regional NRM Strategy and Investment Plan that has had strong stakeholder engagement in its development and that will deliver on ground actions to combat degradation issues afflicting the South Coast environment in an integrated multidisciplinary manner.

This builds on SCRIPT’s successful delivery of more than $40 million NRM funding since its inception through such initiatives as the Remnant Vegetation Protection Scheme (RVPS) - a State scheme that had stalled, which when devolved to the Region became oversubscribed.

Last year was SCRIPT’s 10th Anniversary celebration which is a milestone for any group. This recognised ten years of contribution by the South Coast community to the long term vision of sustaining the South Coast Region’s natural resources.
