| There is likely to be a divergence in the interests of farmers and their neighbours or the community in the management of land and hence a greater rate of exploitation of soil qualities than that desired by the community. This is particularly true under current institutional arrangements with respect to nonpoint forms of land degradation, such as soil acidification, where the property rights of the community are weak. Hence it is important to understand the nature and extent of off-site impacts so as to form a basis either for potential collective action or for some form of intervention by government. One of the objectives of this paper is to draw out the analogies between offsite effects of a spatial nature with those of a dynamic or temporal nature with... |

| Water trade remains a contentious political issue in Australia, regardless of the acknowledged benefits to which economists continually refer. At least two sources of concern arise in discussions about water trade. First, concerns are often expressed about inter-sectoral ramifications. These usually take the form of prophecies about the profligate growth of urban centres being achieved at the expense of regional and rural communities. Second, mention of unfettered trade between jurisdictions is usually sufficient to provoke rhetoric that draws upon long-standing rivalries between states. This paper considers the benefits of water trade between agricultural interests in the Murrumbidgee Valley in New South Wales and the predominantly urban users in the... |

| The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) became a full participant in the Murray Darling Basin (MDB) Initiative in 1998. This opened the opportunity for the ACT to establish water trading arrangements with the other MDB member States. Provisions to facilitate this trade are currently being developed. In addition, the ACT is required to negotiate an initial “Cap” level with the other MDB members before water trading can begin. The Cap defines the amount of water resources for which each State has extractive rights, and is based on 1993/94 levels of water utilising development. This paper investigates alternative trading strategies that could be used to “build” Cap over time, and explores the implications for negotiation of the initial ACT Cap endowment. |

| The objectives of government in relation to natural resource management in agriculture have changed significantly over time. Similarly, the process that government employs to develop natural resource management policy has also evolved. In the past, policy has been developed centrally, while more recently there has been greater effort to involve the community in this process. There are clear linkages between changes in natural resource management objectives and changes in the policy development process. The implementation of the NSW Government’s Water Reforms is used as a case study to consider these linkages and to examine the advantages and disadvantages of moving to a more community based approach to natural resource management. The implications of this... |
