Improve the health and condition of wetlands in the Western region of NSW through improving the delivery of small-bodied fish recovery to assist with large-scale reintroductions of small-bodied Threatened Species.
Key information
- Status: Not open for application
- Grant amount: From $4,900 to $44,500
Program objective
The program commenced as an approved redirection of underspent funds from the Screening our Streams Program.
The objectives aim for improvement of habitat and environmental water delivery at selected established sites that support small-bodied fish recovery programs.
This will be achieved through activities such as:
- flood damage repair
- pest fish exclusion
- enhancement of water delivery structures.
This aims to protect breeding populations of small-bodied Threatened Species as part of large-scale reintroduction programs.
Background
This program will improve the health and condition of rivers and wetlands in the Murray-Darling Basin that build on water recovered through the Murray-Darling Basin Plan.
The non-competitive funding round aims to improve and enhance habitat and environmental water delivery at locations where successful breeding programs for selected threatened species have been established.
This program is funded and administered by Local Land Services.
Grant recipients
Recipients for this program were selected to meet the program objectives.
Eligible recipients were invited to participate and were required to meet the objectives.
Program evaluation
Evaluation will be conducted via a participant survey at the completion of the project.
