The BCT works with willing landholders to enter conservation agreements to conserve important biodiversity or habitat for threatened species in priority investment areas across NSW. Minister Gabrielle Upton talks with BCT Executive Director and Chief Executive, Paul Elton, discuss the funding available for landholders with Prime 7.
Landholders in an eligible area can express interest in a Fixed Price Offer any time. BCT will assess EOIs in batches throughout each financial year. We are currently assessing all FRO EOIs received up to 30 June 2018 and we will assess the next batch of EOIs in early March 2019. BCT may change our FROs at points in the future based on operational experience, market information and other factors.
On 16 May 2018, the BCT commenced Fixed Price Offers under its Conservation Management Program.
The BCT is now offering fixed price conservation management payments ($/ha/year) for landholders in priority investment areas who are willing to manage part of their land for conservation under a voluntary agreement.
The opportunity to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for a Tender site assessment in the Central Tablelands region closed at 5pm on Monday 21 May 2018.
