Negotiated agreements with Local Government

On-Ground Works Negotiated agreements with Local Governments

BDTNRM will invest in on ground works on coastal land in priority areas where local governments are trustees. The onground works may include weed removal, revegetation, dune stabilisation, fencing, public access works, protection of endangered beach Scrub (linked to the cross regional Beach Scrub project) and restoration of fish habitats (linked to Ocean Watch’s Tide to Table program) at prioritised sites determined by mapping and resource condition projects. Draft on ground works management plans will be initially developed by each Local Government, Rachel Allan, the Coastal and Marine programme coordinator and Leonie Maddigan, the Coastal Local Government support officer, then taken to the Coastal and Marine Advisory Group for recommendation with final approval by BDTNRM's CEO, Bob Frazer.
