Where Funding Comes From:
Local Land Services Western Region utilises funds from the Australian Government’s National Landcare
Programme as well as Catchment Action NSW which have specific long term targets. Projects will be offered
funding based on the merit of the project and the availability of funds.
National Landcare Programme
The National Landcare Programme is part of the Australian Government’s investment in managing natural
resources. This programme is comprised of two streams, one of which delivers funding through regional
bodies (e.g. Local Land Services). Regional bodies must demonstrate their ability to deliver against the
National Landcare Programme’s strategic objectives and targets and funding may only apply to specific
activities and areas of the Local Land Services Western Region. National Landcare Programme funding has
been provided to Local Land Services Western Region to achieve sustainable agriculture outcomes as well
as improving and enhancing native vegetation in the Western Region.
For more information on the National Landcare Programme visit www.nrm.gov.au
Local Land Services Western Region

Rangeland Rehabilitation Incentive Program Guidelines 2015
Catchment Action NSW
Catchment Action NSW funding is primarily targeted at Management Targets identified in the Local Land
Services Western Region Strategic Plan. This is a ten-year plan for improving and managing natural
resources in the region. It specifies how Local Land Services will allocate funds approved under the current
four year investment strategy and direct future funding in order to manage the region’s natural resources.
Local Land Services Funding Guidelines:
General
 All on-ground works are to be conducted on land within the Western Local Region.
 You must not commence your project until you have signed a contract with Local Land Services.
 Your project may be used by Local Land Services for demonstration and/or promotional purposes with
your consent.
 If you have any questions about project eligibility or other concerns about the project proposal form you
should contact your nearest Local Land Services Western Region office.
Eligibility
 Applications are invited from all land managers including individuals, groups, non-government
organisations, not-for-profit organisations; Local Government and State Government agencies (core
functions of government agencies will not be funded).
 Where an applicant is not the owner/lessee of the land, specific permission will be required from the
owner/lessee to implement the project. Written permission from the owner/lessee will be required before
approval.
 Applicants with current Local Land Services Western Region (formerly CMA) and/or National
Landcare Program projects that are not compliant with contract conditions as at October 16th 2015
will not be eligible for funding. This includes applicants with outstanding monitoring records.
Conflict of Interest
Non professional relationships with Local Land Services Western Region staff or board members may be
perceived as a conflict of interest. Local Land Services Chairs and Board members and their spouse, parents
and children or adopted children and/or Staff and their spouse, parents and children or adopted children who
are interested in applying for the 2015 Incentive Program are required to submit an application to the Local
Land Services Conflict of Interest Subcommittee. The Conflict of Interest will be assessed, consistent across
all Local Land Service regions to determine the best approach to managing a real or perceived conflict of
interest. It should be noted that the default position of Local Land Services is removal of the conflict, in which
case participation in Local Land Services Incentive Funding may not be permitted. If you are concerned that
a perceived conflict of interest may impact on your application please contact Russell Grant, Manager
Regional Specialist Services (02 6836 1575).
Monitoring and evaluation of outcomes
 If your project is funded you will be required to undertake basic monitoring of your projects environmental
outcomes. This monitoring information will assist Local Land Services to assess project and applicant
successes which is necessary to justify future funding rounds.
Local Land Services Western Region

Rangeland Rehabilitation Incentive Program Guidelines 2015
 Landholder monitoring (see current MERI guidelines) will be required yearly, for the whole ten
years of the contract.
 Monitoring guidelines will be provided by Local Land Services Western Region.
 At times, Local Land Services staff may require property access for project monitoring purposes. You will
be advised in advance of any access requirements.
Compliance with existing State and Commonwealth Legislation
Local Land Services only approves the amount of funding for your project. This does not authorise you to
implement the project. You must ensure that your project has all necessary approvals, licenses, permits,
consents, etc. and that your project complies with all relevant legislation including, but not restricted to, the
following:

Rangeland Rehabilitation Incentive Program Guidelines 2015
What does this mean for Local Land Services?
 We are a PCBU (‘person conducting a business or undertaking’) under the Act.
 We must demonstrate due diligence to ensure undertakings comply with the Act.
 Any person contracted to undertake activities by Local Land Services is a ‘worker’ under the Act. This
includes landholders funded for works on their own property plus sub-contractors.
 We must ensure successful applicants have systems in place to meet Work Health and Safety standards
and have demonstrated procedures for recording incidents.
What does this mean for successful applicants?
 Successful applicants must work with Local Land Services to demonstrate adequate identification of risks
and hazards in workplaces.
 Strategies (safe work practices) must be developed and actions implemented to minimise these risks and
hazards.
 A sound process exists for recording and reporting work health and safety incidents. Incidents must be
reported to Local Land Services Western Region.
What does this mean if a sub-contractor is engaged?
 Under the Act, Local Land Services and landholders retain Work, Health and Safety obligations for any
sub-contractor that may be engaged under this program.
Project timeframe
Land managers who are successful in their application to the Rangeland Rehabiliation 2015 Incentive
Program will enter into contracts allowing until the 2nd December 2016 to complete on-ground works.
Applicants must demonstrate that their project is achievable in the given timeframe with consideration given
to competing priorities.
Local Land Services contracts require ongoing management of project infrastructure and outcomes for ten
years.
Financial Guarantee
All applicants to Local Land Services Western Region Programs are required to demonstrate that they are
financially viable to deliver their proposed works in the contracted time frame. To this effect a personal
guarantee or a letter of guarantee by the applicants financial advisor (eg accountant) is required in order for
the application to proceed to assessment. A template for this purpose will be provided by Local Land
Services Western Region and must be submitted with your Incentive application. Templates will be available
along with the program application form on 3rd August 2015.
Applicants proposing a project with a Local Land Services contribution of $50,000 (ex. GST) or greater will
be required to submit either a letter of comfort from the applicant’s banking institution specifying that their
contribution to the on ground works can be met and the project will be completed according to the contracted
conditions or a personal guarantee to that affect.
Project approvals and contracts
 You will be advised in writing if your project has been approved and placed on an eligibility list.
Local Land Services Western Region
5
Rangeland Rehabilitation Incentive Program Guidelines 2015
 Once approved projects have been ranked, funds will be allocated to each project down the list. This will
be a progressive process until all funds available in the Rangeland Rehabiliation Program budget are
spent or the project eligibility list is exhausted.
 If your proposal is funded, you will be contacted in writing by Local Land Services and an offer of contract
for your project will be made. The contract will be granted for a period of ten years and will detail the
negotiated outputs and outcomes of the project.
 It is your responsibility to accept the contract by the given deadline, or decline the funding and notify Local
Land Services.
Eligibility list for approved but unfunded projects:
 If your project is approved but misses out on funding when program funds are fully allocated to higher
ranking projects, it will remain on an eligibility list.
 Funds may become available if contract offers are declined. The next ranked project on the eligibility list is
then allocated funds.
 Where the newly available funds are not sufficient to fund the next ranked project, the funds are allocated
to the next project on the eligibility list that can be fully covered by the available funds.
 Once the eligibility list expires (when no further funding opportunities are available), applicants will need to
reapply for any future funding rounds.
Final Inspection
All projects funded through Groundcover Incentive Program are required to undergo a final inspection to
complete the project and initiate final payment. Final inspections are carried out by Local Land Services
officers who will negotiate;
 A suitable timeframe with you to conduct the inspection.
 Check all infrastructure against the contract. The contract will usually comprise of the information provided
in the application form and any negotiated outcomes. This will include the quality of works, the location of
infrastructure, the amount of materials used etc.
 GPS locations of key points and infrastructure in order to accurately record the project for future
monitoring.
 Discuss with you your ongoing monitoring and reporting requirements.
Please Note: Any changes to contracted outcomes that do not have a written variation approval on file
could constitute grounds for cancellation of the contract, thus forfeiting the final payment.
Payment schedule
 If you accept the contract, fifty percent (50%) of Local Land Services funds identified in the budget will be
paid to you within six weeks of signing the contract and submitting the first invoice.
 Upon completion of the on-ground works, your project will require a final inspection by a Local Land
Services officer. If satisfactory, the remaining fifty percent (50%) will be paid within two months of the
final inspection report, tax invoice and monitoring data being submitted.
 If the works are deemed unsatisfactory, the final payment may be withheld, funds recovery action may be
taken and restrictions on future funding may occur. Appropriate measures to remedy the issue will be
discussed.
Local Land Services Western Region

Rangeland Rehabilitation Incentive Program Guidelines 2015
 If you are not in a financial position to carry out the project given the above payment schedule it is advised
that you forfeit the grant and re-apply when financially capable.
 Please keep your local case officer informed of project progress.
 Funding grants are considered taxable income by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). However,
applicants should consult their financial advisors or the ATO about the tax implications of a Local Land
Services grant.
Unsuccessful applicants
 You will be notified in writing if your project is unsuccessful.
 You may seek additional advice/discussion from Russell Grant, Manager Regional Specialist Services (02
6836 1575)
Appeal process for unsuccessful applicants
 The Western Local Board will review any appeals. The Board’s determination will be final.
 An application for appeal must be made in writing to Russell Grant, Manager Regional Specialist Services,
Local Land Services Western Region, PO Box 307, Cobar NSW 2835 stating the reasons for the appeal .
 No new information is considered; the appeal is based on what is provided in the application form.
 Appeals are assessed bi-monthly at Western Local Board meetings.
 The result of your appeal will be provided in writing and can be discussed if requested.
 If your appeal is successful, your project will be placed on the eligibility list based on your original
assessment score.
What happens to the information I provide?
Collection:
 Project proposal information collected is used to assess your application and to contact you. Please
contact Local Land Services if you believe the information collected is not relevant or is excessive.
 A statutory declaration is provided at the bottom of the Application Form for you to provide consent for
Local Land Services to use and store the information for assessment purposes and to be entered onto the
public register. Additionally, the statutory declaration indicates the information was collected directly from
you and is accurate.
 People involved in the collection, assessment and processing of the Groundcover Incentive Program will
view your information. These people are required by law to not disclose your information.
Storage:
 Your information will be stored in secured files within the Local Land Services Western Region offices.
The information will be kept for the organisational life of Local Land Services or subsequent agencies
responsible for natural resource management. Local Land Services staff only, for work purposes, will have
access to your information.
Access:
 You are able to view or correct this information at your request in business hours.
Local Land Services Western Region
7
Rangeland Rehabilitation Incentive Program Guidelines 2015
Use:
 Consent will be sought for any use of the collected information outside Local Land Services.
Disclosure:
 The amount of funds granted, applicant name, location and brief project description will be placed on the
Local Land Services public register. This will take effect if the applicant enters into a contract with Local
Land Services.
 The purpose of the public register is to inform the community where public natural resource management
funding is directed in the region and additionally, to ensure integrity, honesty and transparency in the
administration of the Devolved Grants Program.
Project Risk Management:
Risk assessment is a requirement in all Local Land Services operations under the Natural Resources
Commission Performance Standard for Local Land Services.
This process will assist in identifying what could go wrong in the ‘implementation’ of your project – the actual
on-ground works. It should be a valuable tool to identify weaknesses and develop a more robust project plan.
Please Note: All projects will have associated risks. Achieving a high or extreme rating on your risk
assessment does not mean that your project will be rejected. What we are seeking is that the applicant
identifies and understands the associated risks and determines management actions to counter the risk.
Local Land Services will use the table below to establish the likelihood and consequence levels of the
identified risk. Then cross-match the likelihood and consequence values to establish the risk rating (Low,
Moderate, High or Extreme).

2015 Rangeland Rehabilitation Program Funding Criteria
The following types of rehabilitation projects are eligible for funding through this program:
Waterponding: Waterponds vary in shape from complete circles to horseshoes. They are used to reclaim
claypan and scalded areas by holding the water on the site. The water sitting within the pond causes the
clays to swell and crack and start the recovery process. The introduction of grass and saltbush species
whilst waterponding increases the speed of recovery.
Waterspreading: Waterspreading banks are used on low slope country to spread and disperse runoff.
This reduces the energy of concentrated flows, minimising soil erosion and improving water infiltration.
Contour Furrowing: Contour furrows are long-term stable earthworks that are used on degraded ridge
country (of less than 5% slope) to capture moisture, seed, litter and soil. This creates a niche for the
establishment and growth of vegetation along the furrow.
Erosion control along linear infrastructure: Erosion along linear infrastructure, such as tracks and
fencelines, is a major cause of erosion. Erosion control structures prevent this type of erosion by reinstating
the direction of natural waterflows.
Other works: In some situations the on-ground works need to be designed and laid out according to the
unique erosion situation. This may be a combination of the above techniques or a modification of an existing
technique.
This program does not include funding for:
Reforming old banks: Any damage to banks constructed after 2000 is seen as normal farm maintenance
and is not eligible for funding. Banks constructed before 2000 are eligible for funding. These were generally
constructed using small machines which were not able to form large-enough banks.
Non-native plant species: The introduction of non-native, persistent and perennial plant species is not
eligible. Non-native, non-persistent annuals (eg. oats) or non-native, non-persistent perennials (eg. lucerne)
are eligible when associated with a rehabilitation method such as waterponding.
Ground tanks and associated diversion banks: The construction of ground tanks and diversion banks
into ground tanks will not be funded. However, the rehabilitation of eroded, poorly constructed diversion
banks will be funded if the rehabilitation work is in line with best practice for erosion control.
Clearing associated with rehabilitation: Any clearing that needs to be completed before a rehabilitation
method can be applied is not eligible under this program.
Fencing infrastructure: The construction or repair of fencing is not eligible under this program.
Design and construction of earthworks
The design, lay out and construction of all earthworks must be approved by the Western Local Land Services
Rangeland Rehabilitation Officer. Furthermore, the minimum standards for bank design, lay out and
construction must be adhered to and are set out in:
1) Earthmovers Training Course, Unit 20 Special Earthworks 1991. (for waterponding)
2) Soil Conservation Service District Technical Manuals, chapter 11, Design of Soil Conservation
Structures
3) Soil Conservation Manual - A Manager's guide 2009, Victoria River District Conservation Association (for
erosion control along linear infrastructure)
Local Land Services Western Region
10
Rangeland Rehabilitation Incentive Program Guidelines 2015
For all banks constructed, the de-stocking of domestic livestock is mandatory until earthworks consolidate
and become stable. The period must be a minimum of six months unless otherwise agreed to through written
variation by Local Land Services Western Region.
Assessment process
1. A field visit will be arranged after the Expression of Interest (EOI) form has been received. The field
assessment evaluates whether the project meets the funding criteria/eligible activities. At this time
information is recorded on the issue, management of the area, spacial information and proposed
rehabilitation technique.
2. During the field visit, the benefits of the project are assessed using consistent criteria. The assessment
measures the natural resource benefits, cost effectiveness and project risk of the proposal. This
assessment produces a biometric score.
3. An assessment panel will review the field visit information and the biometric score. The panel will
generate a score and all projects will be ranked according to the score generated by the biometric score
and assessment panel score. Funds will be allocated to each project down the list until all funds have
been spent or the project eligibility list is exhausted.
4. Contracts will be offered to all eligible project proponents. All works will be funded through a standard
contract linked to the application. The contract will require ongoing maintenance of the works for a 10
year period and the submission of monitoring information annually over this period.
Local Land Services Western Region
11
Rangeland Rehabilitation Incentive Program Guidelines 2015
Project Budgets:
The budget is a vital component of every project application as it is where the assessors can obtain an
understanding of the proposed activities. It is also used to determine how cost effective the project is.
Please not that a limit of $20,000 contribution from Western Local Land Service has been placed on each
project proposal.
Proposals may be considered more favourably by the assessment panel where the applicant has
budgeted a greater contribution to the project.
Budget: project costs
 The cost sharing ratio is 1:2 – one dollar from the landholder to two dollars from Local Land Services
Western Region.
 For most rehabilitation projects there is very little in-kind labour required if contractors are forming the
banks, it is therefore expected that a financial contribution will be made by the applicant to meet the cost
sharing ratio.
 All budget figures must be GST exclusive.
 Be aware that money allocated to projects will be based upon the submitted budget and no allowances will
be made for price increases.
 Monitoring is an ineligible cost
Please seek help if you are unsure, the project budget is critical to the approval of the project
