The Avon Investment Plan 2005/06 is the culmination of an extensive planning process that involved direct input from over 50 community, NGO and Agency (Australian, State and Local Government) representatives. These people helped to prioritise resource condition and Management Action Targets drawn from the regional strategy. The information presented identifies realistic and achievable targets for investment in the 2005/06 financial year, which will significantly contribute to managing resource change within the region.
The Investment Plan identifies investment opportunities totalling $13.79m (plus an additional strategic reserve contingency) sourced from State and Australian Governments through NAP and NHT and supported by community funding. Indicative investment for 2006/07 and 2007/08 has been noted and will be better developed during March to December 2005.
On ground investment will be delivered through a series of projects and will be coordinated through three delivery programs that have been created to integrate activities across resource themes (Water, Land and Biodiversity). The programs are:
- Integrated Water Management.
- Sustainable Industries.
- Natural Diversity.
Capacity building is not delivered via the delivery program structure. It is however, considered an important function and a large amount of work associated with identifying skills gaps necessary to be addressed to achieve resource condition targets has been carried out. This review has identified that coordination and delivery of monitoring and evaluation, stakeholder relations, indigenous NRM and building strategic partnerships are priority activities and should be addressed as functional operations of the ACC.
