Our role includes supporting the coordination and delivery of:
- Expert ecological assessments of selected sites across key wine regions (Margaret River, Great Southern)
- Co-funded on-ground works, including fencing, weed control, and revegetation with native species
- Integration of First Nations knowledge in land and water management
- Monitoring programs to track improvements in water quality and biodiversity
- Knowledge-sharing activities, including regional field days, training resources, and case studies
These demonstration sites serve as practical examples of best practice riparian and dam rehabilitation. They are part of a broader strategy to enhance water security and natural capital across WA’s wine-producing landscapes.
Funding for on-ground works is delivered through a matched co-contribution model, where landholders contribute cash and in-kind resources (such as labour, materials, or equipment use). The estimated program support per site is between $140,000 and $160,000, depending on the region.
We gratefully acknowledge the Australian Government, through the Natural Heritage Trust and Climate-Smart Agriculture Program, for their support in making this initiative possible. This work also builds on strong partnerships with regional bodies and producers, ensuring lasting environmental and industry-wide benefits.
