Landowner information sessions
Landowner information sessions were conducted in the south, north and north-west of the State in early April 2007. These sessions provided advice on the Forest Conservation Fund and enabled interested landowners to obtain further information to assist the preparation of their applications.
Lodgement of request for site assessments
Requests for Site Assessment must have been received by 5:00pm (AEST) 7 May 2007
It is expected that site assessments and subsequent development of documents could take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the details to be considered. Landowners are encouraged to submit Requests for Site Assessment (RFSA) as early as possible to avoid a bottleneck near the end of the assessment period. The latest time at which submissions of Request for Site Assessment will be accepted is 5.00 p.m. (AEST) on Monday 7 May 2007. It is the responsibility of the Landowner to ensure the RFSA is submitted by 7 May 2007.
Invitation to apply for funding
For Landowners that qualify for a Site Assessment, an Invitation to Apply for Funding (IAF) document will be provided through their Conservation Adviser. The IAF will contain additional details about the process for submitting an application, including further details regarding the closing date of 16 July 2007.
FCF gate signs
All landowners that have an application accepted and a Conservation Covenant placed on their land are required to display the below gate sign near the covenanted land. The financial agreement, which the landowner signs, outlines where the gate sign should be located in relation to where the covenant is placed.
The purpose of this gate sign is to provide recognition that the landowner has taken part in the FCF and have covenanted land.
The gate sign is a hexagonal shape and is 50cm x 50cm. It is made from special light weight metal to make it easy to display on fences or gates and is also weather proof. The gate signs will be distributed by the Tasmanian Government when the covenant is implemented.
