Grant recipients
Recipients for this program were selected to meet the program objectives.
Eligible recipients were invited to participate and were required to meet the objectives.
Program evaluation
The Regent Honeyeater project has delivered the projected outputs via the most effective means. The project was delivered by the entire NTLLS Environment Team in partnership with the four Landcare networks (SNEL, Glenrac, Granite Borders and Gwymac).
Contracts with expert service providers were established via direct negotiation (Think Digital for Virtual Reality 360 degree videos, ANU for NRHMP site habitat surveys, UNE for Noisy Miner surveys and culling trials, and the four Landcare networks to support ongoing Group action Plans, community engagement and field days).
Land-manager agreements for habitat protection/restoration/revegetation were established via an open Expression of Interest and associated Assessment Panels to select the best projects for delivery.
