The final year of the program concluded with the
implementation of 30 projects approved by the CANRI Board. The suite of
projects encompassed the major themes (Systems, Quality & Standards,
Products & Services, Communications, Coordination, Data) addressed in
CANRI's business
case. The majority of project outcomes are now available through the
NSW Natural Resource Atlas web portal, demonstrated to the Board and other stakeholders
at the Project Expo on 24 September 2004.
