| Adoption of Agricultural BMP's for Sediment & Nutrient Reduction in Douglas Shire | |
This project seeks to achieve an overall commitment from the Shire's landholders to adopt agricultural
Best Management Practices (BMP's), including an appraisal of BMP cost-effectiveness, to be used as
the basis for farm planning. This project includes development of a system to track BMP implementation
in order to demonstrate cause/effect relationships.
The Shire is concomitantly developing agreements to protect public investments in BMP implementation,
particularly through riparian and wetland management controls.
