      abstract = {The purpose of the paper is to explore various definitions  and assumptions about common resource management and to  discuss where the organisations Landcare and Integrated  Catchment Management in Australia fit with these. The paper  will also present results of investigations of the  contribution these organisations have made to the  management of common resources, focusing particularly on  the State of Queensland. Landcare and Integrated Catchment  Management are community participative organisations with a  diverse membership that includes primary producers, nature  conservationists, government and industry. They involve all  members of the community in the decision-making process for  the management of catchments. Both these organisations  mould together private use of land for agriculture with a  philosophy that all land is held in trust for the use of  future generations of human and other life. They do this by  planning for long-term, sustainable use of land at a  catchment level and use public and private funds to  implement the plans at a property level. Members of the  organisations work together, and work with government  bodies, to share information about best practice and to  make incremental steps towards sustainable land use. Nature  conservation groups are part of both organisations and  contribute to the thinking about what is current best  practice for the needs of wildlife. They also help to  implement the plans using both public funds and private  donations of cash or kind. However, the planning and  implementation of the plans drawn up by Landcare and  Integrated Catchment Management can be problematic for a  number of reasons, including the lack of involvement of  local industry and government.},
