Coverage of the measure
|
|
Marine Stewardship Council certification.
|
For pre-assessments, the subsidy was provided to the CAB on the approval of the Department. Pre-assessments were completed for all fisheries. Full assessments require support of the fishery rights holders, that the fishery is considered a high priority for certification, and that the Department has the resources available to support the assessment/audit.
For full-assessments and the first annual surveillance audit, the subsidy is paid to the CAB undertaking the assessment by the State Government on behalf of the fishery client. All payments to the CAB require the approval of the fishery client and the Department.

This State-led competitive grant program addresses water efficiency in both the delivery system and user connections in the Goulburn-Murray Irrigation district with 102 gigalitres (long term average annual yield) of project water savings transferred to the Commonwealth. The funding agreement provides for a connection/reconnection/disconnection of individual irrigators to a "backbone" irrigation delivery system with a share of the water savings arising from the project transferred to the Commonwealth.
This agreement gives certainty to one of Australia's most important food producing regions and represents a strategic recovery of water for the Commonwealth.

Sustainable Rural Water Use and Infrastructure Program (SRWUIP): Victoria Farm Modernisation Project
|
FFunding is provided through a Funding Agreement between the Commonwealth and the Victorian Government. In turn, the Victorian Government has a funding agreement with the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority, the organisation implementing the project. Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority will make calls for applications and enter into a funding agreement with successful applicants.
Water savings from the project that are transferred to the Commonwealth are contributing towards 'bridging the gap' to the new Sustainable Diversion Limits under the Murray Darling Basin Plan. The water savings are delivered to the Commonwealth via a Water Transfer Contract between the water entitlement holder and the Commonwealth.
