Management of our lands, rivers and seas is a increasingly contentious problem and one that necessitates negotiations.

Mediation is about working with people to understand their position and develop their powers of negotiating and achieve outcomes where everyone wins.
Negotiations in planning and decision making are not new; they have been used since time immemorial to develop compromise and move projects forward.
