On Ground Works with Palm Island Council

 

BDTNRM will invest in On Ground Works on coastal land in priority areas where LG 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 # CAM2010) 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 OGW’s management plans will be initially developed by each Local Government and the CAM programme coordinator and Coastal LG support officer, then taken to the CAMAG for recommendation with final approval by BDTNRM CEO.
