Expressions of interest are invited from landholders in the
Murrumbidgee catchment for Climate Change Corridors, Drought Ready Packages, and Grazing Management incentive projects for 2010-11:

Climate Change Corridors

The Murrumbidgee CMA is offering land managers incentives to conserve and connect native vegetation corridors within the Murrumbidgee catchment area. The CMA will contribute to the cost of:

• The protection and enhancement of existing remnant native vegetation through environmental stewardship, fencing, weed control and strategic species revegetation.
• The establishment and linkage of vegetation corridors with locally endemic native trees and shrubs through fencing, weed control,
  revegetation and alternative water provisions.

Drought Ready Package

The Murrumbidgee CMA is assisting landholders to prepare and manage through periods of drought by providing incentives for training and infrastructure for the establishment and use of drought-lot feeding facilities.

Numbers are limited and Expressions of Interest will be assessed in the order in which they are received. A maximum of $10,000 is available per property.

Grazing Management

The Murrumbidgee CMA is offering incentives to landholders to
subdivide paddocks that are greater than 75 ha in area, that contain native grasses and/or shrubs so that a rotational grazing system can be implemented. The CMA will contribute to the cost of the following activities:

• Incentive payments to assist with sub-divisional fencing materials.
• Grazing management training.
• Water infrastructure materials for the provision of stock water in paddocks within the project area (earthen dam or reticulated system).

Expressions of interest close on 30 September.
