Plan and prioritise investment in natural resource management actions
Create portfolios of management actions by prioritising what’s important to you
Predict the portfolio benefits across multiple indicators
- Land productivity
- Water quality
- Biodiversity
- First Nations
- Social
- Economics
- Climate change
Customise preset action types to suit your specific environment
Customisable options include effectiveness, costs, adoption likelihood and confidence
Positive actions
- Broadacre agricultural practice improvement (Grazing, cropping)
- Intensive agriculture practice improvement
- Revegetation (terrestrial, wetland and riparian)
- Stream management
- Gully management
- Point source improvement
- Preservation (protecting high value environmental assets)
Negative Actions
- Continued land clearing
- Point source pollution
- Poor land maintenance
Adoption
Assess the likelihood of an action being adopted
Confidence
Measure confidence in predicted benefits and budget estimates
Availability
Under final stages of testing and review (anticipated release late 2023)
Natural Capital Plan is a modelling platform that needs to be populated with locally specific data to represent the current conditions of all indicators and the locally specific effectiveness of each potential action against each indicator.
The pilot region for Natural Capital Plan development and testing is the Queensland Murray Darling Basin region, which will be available with limited access to reviewers during testing and review (until late 2023).
Regions where it will apply
From late 2023 to 2024 we anticipate the following natural resource management regions to become available as the modelling platform is populated with regionally specific data:
- Queensland Murray Darling Basin
NRM body: Southern Queensland Landscapes - South East Queensland
NRM body: Healthy Land and Water - Burnett Mary
NRM body: Burnett Mary Regional Group - Fitzroy Basin
NRM body: Fitzroy Basin Association Inc - Mackay Whitsunday region
NRM body: Reef Catchments - Burdekin region
NRM body: NQ Dry Tropics Group Inc - Wet Tropics region
NRM body: Terrain - Cape York (Reef discharging catchments)
NRM body: Cape York NRM
Natural Capital Plan can be applied to any region in Australia. If you want your region activated, please get in touch.
