DCCEEW Stewardship Support Program (SSP)
The DCCEEW Stewardship Support Program (SSP) has reopened for landholder applications.
Key points are:
- The aim of the program is to support landholders to establish biodiversity stewardship agreements to manage land for conservation that is funded by the sale of biodiversity credits.
- The program offers free biodiversity assessments for successful landholders whose sites have best potential to create in-demand biodiversity credits.
- The application process is very straightforward, the Application Form takes only 10-20 minutes to fill out and requires contact details and information about the Lots of land to be considered. There is a place to attach reports and the like if some work on sites has already been completed.
- There is a webinar scheduled for 19 August (12:30 pm-1 pm) and a face-to-face session in Armidale on 1 September (10-12 pm). Links to register for these are on our webpage.
- There is no obligation when submitting an application.
- The program is accepting applications right across the state, priority areas for this round include Western Sydney and the Hunter-Central Coast and New England Renewable Energy Zone areas.
Consultation is now open on the New England Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) Community and Employment Benefit Program.
