Round four of the Southern Rivers CMA Bush Incentives fund is now open. A total of $500 000 from the Australian Government’s Natural Heritage Trust is available for protection and management of native vegetation. Round four will focus on the Upper and Lower Shoalhaven and the Kiama local government area.
Application for funds is by a bidding process. Applications are ranked based on the significance of the vegetation and the environmental management strategies proposed by the landholder.
