Box Gum Grassy Woodland Large High Quality Sites Project
The project is part of the Australian Government's Caring for our Country - Environmental Stewardship, helping land managers to protect the environment on their land.
Eligible land managers can enter into financial contracts with the Government for up to 15 years. This means you could receive an annual payment to look after and improve the quality and extent of a least 50 hectares of Box Gum Grassy Woodland on your land.
The project is open to managers of private land (leasehold and freehold) in the South East Queensland, Condamine or Border Rivers Maranoa - Balonne natural resource management regions in QLD. Or the Border Rivers - Gwydir, Namoi and Central West Catchment Management Authority regions in NSW.
Box Gum Grassy Woodland Lachlan Murrumbidgee Project
PLEASE NOTE: Land managers wishing to participate in this project were required to have submitted a Request for a Site Assessment to the delivery agent by 19 September 2008.
The project is part of the Australian Government's Caring for our Country - Environmental Stewardship, helping land managers to protect the environment on their land.
Private land managers within the Lachlan and Murrumbidgee Catchment Management Authority boundaries in New South Wales who have the critically endangered White Box, Yellow Box and/or Blakely's Red Gum grassy woodland or derived grassland on their properties are the first to be targeted under Caring for our Country - Environmental Stewardship.
Land managers who have expressed interest in participating in the project and meet the eligibility criteria will be invited to submit a price (bid) for which they would be prepared to undertake agreed management actions to conserve Box Gum Grassy Woodland or derived grassland of more than 5 hectares in area on their land. All sites will be scored using a decision support tool (Conservation Value Measure). The site score will be divided by the bid price to develop a Conservation Value Index for the site. All bids will be ranked according to their CVI from highest to lowest reflecting a value-for-money continuum. This forms an important part of the evaluation of the bids but other factors will also be considered in determining successful bids.
Land managers whose bids are successful can enter into financial contracts with the Australian Government for up to fifteen years.
