The BMAP guides monitoring and research needs of the GBCMA, assists in tracking the Catchment’s progress towards the Resource Condition Targets (RCTs), and helps inform decision making relating to review, evaluation and development of projects.
Monitoring has long been identified as an important activity for the GB CMA Biodiversity Program. Monitoring assists in tracking the Catchment's progress towards the Resource
Condition Targets (RCTs) and helps inform decision making relating to review, evaluation and development of projects. As a result, this Monitoring Action Plan for Biodiversity has
been developed.
This plan concentrates on two of the RCTs:
- Increase the cover of all endangered and applicable vulnerable EVCs to at least 15% of their pre-European vegetation cover by 2030
- Improve the quality of 90% of existing (2000) native vegetation by 10% by 203
It should be noted that whilst there is a chance that the RCT's will alter in the future the basic premise of RCT's are rigorous and likely to be reflected in any new RCTs.
The Goulburn Broken Biodiversity Strategy Working Group (BSWG) (formerly the Biodiversity Integration Group (BIG)) has been involved in reviewing the assumptions used in the
reporting process; the information provided by BIG has informed and provided direction for this Action Plan.
