On-ground Works Funding Application
The Kangaroo Island Natural Resources Management Board (KI NRM Board) invites you to apply for funding
for on-ground works projects.
Priority will be given to applications related to properties in the Cygnet River and Pelican Lagoon catchments .
This round of funding offers you a range of incentives for:

fencing existing native vegetation in blocks to help prevent nutrient loss and protect from grazing
livestock or to protect revegetation projects

planting native trees and shrubs to extend existing vegetation, revegetate salt patches, around lagoons
and along creek lines etc.

water point relocation to move watering points out of streams and avoid nutrient loss and minimise instream sedimentation

stock and/or vehicle crossings to minimise in-stream eutrophication, sedimentation and improve
connectivity of aquatic ecosystems by allowing the passage of fish and other aquatic fauna.
If approved for funding, your works will need to be completed and inspected by:

stock/vehicle crossings

all fencing

revegetation and waterpoints
30 April 2016
8 June 2016
22 June 2016.
To apply:
1. fill in the expression of interest form
2. attach a map showing the location of your project
3. send form and map to: Community Landcare Coordinator
Natural Resources Kangaroo Island
PO Box 39
Kingscote SA 5223.
Cost sharing

Funding is limited and, depending on number of applications received, will be allocated on priority, as
determined by the KI Natural Resources Management Plan. Incentives may vary from those set out
below.

This funding is allocated under a cost sharing arrangement. Incentives are based on whether the works
have largely on-site benefits to the landholder or largely off-site benefits to the general community.

Thus, different categories of on-ground works attract different rates of incentive funding.

Fencing of high priority vegetation is determined by an assessment and prioritisation process. High priority
vegetation includes areas that contain:

threatened plant species

habitat that is important to threatened animals (such as glossy black-cockatoo)

regionally threatened plant communities (such as river red gum, swamp gum and manna gum
communities)
