IMPACTS OF NATIVE VEGETATION INQUIRY
The
Productivity Commission has received terms of reference from the
Federal Government for a new inquiry into the Impacts of Native
Vegetation and Biodiversity Regulations.
The
inquiry, presided by Neil Byron, will consider the impacts on farming
practices, productivity, sustainability, property values and returns,
landholders' investment patterns and the attitude of finance providers,
and on other economic activities such as infrastructure development and
mineral exploration, and flow on effects to regional communities, arising
from the regulation of native vegetation clearance and/or biodiversity
conservation, including:
- both positive and negative impacts;
-
the level of understanding of the relevant legislative and regulatory
regimes among stakeholders;
- the likely duration of such impacts and the factors influencing their duration; and
-
the extent to which existing government measures are mitigating any
negative impacts.
The
Commission is to report within 12 months, and is seeking people or
organisations to register their interest and make a written submissions.
To
register an interest in the inquiry email nativevegetation@pc.gov.au
or for further details go to

LOWERING EMISSIONS ESSENTIAL FOR PUBLIC HEALTH
Lowering
emissions is crucial for public health reasons, according to a
new Federal Government report, which shows that climate change will
cause more deaths from malaria, flooding and heatwaves.
The
report, commissioned by the Commonwealth Department of Health
and Aging and produced by the National Centre for Epidemiology and
Population Health, provides a risk assessment of various potential health
impacts of climate change over the coming decades in Australia and, in
specified instances, neighbouring populations of New Zealand and the
Pacific Islands.
According
to the report, reducing the total level of greenhouse gas
emissions remains a primary preventive health strategy. Given that
current levels of greenhouse gases will continue to influence climate
over the next several hundred years, a greater research effort must now
also be directed towards how humans can adapt to these changes.
The
health impacts of climate change will be strongly influenced by the
extent and rate of warming, as well as local environmental conditions and
social behaviours, and the range of social, technological, institutional,
and behavioural adaptations taken to reduce the threats.
Some
individuals and communities are likely to lack the resources required for adequate
response. Remote Aboriginal communities, people
on low incomes, elderly people and many Pacific Island countries will be
most vulnerable.

report can be accessed at

VICTORIAN BUDGET KICK STARTS WATER TRUST SPENDING
The
Victorian budget has allocated funding of $92.5 million from the $320
million Victorian Water Trust for a range of initiatives under the State
Water Plan, as well as providing additional funding for management of
parks and forests, control of weeds and control of animal diseases.
However,
the budget for the Department of Sustainability and
Environment has been cut by $14 million per annum through `efficiency
measures' and reduction in advertising.
Of
this year's Water Trust expenditure, $52.5 million will be spent on
upgrading water assets and infrastructure, including irrigation systems
and country town water treatment and sewerage plants. In particular,
irrigation systems in the Goulburn, Murray and Gippsland regions have been earmarked
for improvement.
Other allocations include:
-
$10 million over four years to continue the Water Smart Gardens and
Homes program to reduce water consumption through more efficient
water use in homes and gardens;
-
$10 million over four years to reduce salinity and improve water
management on farms through the Smart Farms initiative. The Government will
provide assistance to establish farm water management
plans and incentives for the introduction of more efficient on-farm irrigation
systems;
-
$16 million to increase environmental flows and undertake riverbank
and other catchment management works to help meet the Government's
target to significantly improve the ecological health of Victoria's rivers by
2010;
-
$2 million for Victorian Universities, Cooperative Research Centres and
Water Authorities to encourage research into the areas of water conservation
and recycling; and
-
$2 million for a Pensioner Pilot Program to help pensioners replace water
fittings as a water savings measure.
4.
INTERIM QLD NHT2 FUNDING NEGOTIATED
An
interim financial agreement is being negotiated between the
Queensland and Commonwealth governments that would provide
around $16 million in interim regional funding under the Natural Heritage
Trust, spread over two financial years 2002/03 and 2003/04.
The
agreement is being developed in the absence of a bilateral agreement
between the two governments covering NHT2, although the Federal
Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Mr Warren Truss, said
he was confident that the bilateral would be resolved soon.
"We
are, however, concerned at the potential for any further delays in
the delivery of interim funds to impact on the momentum of natural
resource management implementation in Queensland. Of particular
concern are the needs of the developing regional bodies to access
interim funding and funding for facilitators and coordinators," Mr Truss
said.
5.
SA YOUTH CONSERVATION CORPS LAUNCHED
A
$3.5 million Youth Conservation Corps has been launched by the
South Australian Government, designed to encourage environmental
rehabilitation and practical job skills amongst the state's youth.
The
Corps, which is similar to the Federal Green Corp program,
undertakes projects which target up to 20 participants aged 15-24 who
are unemployed, under employed or completing education or training
and have an interest in conservation, requiring participants to volunteer
part-time for up to 6 months.
The
first five projects under the program are the: Northern Adelaide
Urban Forest Project, South East Remnant Habitat Restoration Project,
Burra Restoration of Riparian and Grassy Ecosystems Project, Sturt
District Restoration Project and Southern Adelaide Urban Forest Project.
6.
WA BUDGET FUNDS ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION UPGRADE
The
2003-04 WA budget has included a package of measures designed
to overhaul and upgrade the state's environmental protection and
regulatory system.
Funding
provided through the budget included an additional $3.75
million for environmental regulation and pollution control and the
employment of an additional 32 staff. These will include an additional
eight environmental regulation and pollution control officers and six
members of a new pollution Response Squad which will provide rapid
response to serious environmental incidents, conducting sampling,
collection of scientific evidence and immediate clean-ups.
Nine
new staff will be added to the current Contaminated Sites unit,
which will be strengthened by the introduction of the tough, new
Contaminated Sites laws and public register.
Police
Superintendent Richard Lane has been appointed to to head the
new nine-member Environmental Enforcement Unit. The Department of
Environmental Protection will spend $14.5million over the next four years
on the implementation of the new Contaminated Sites legislation and the
remediation of new sites.
Across
Government, more than $50 million will be spent over the next
four years for the investigation, management and cleanup of
contaminated sites.
7.
COALITION CALLS FOR 10% MRET
A
coalition of physicians, engineers, the energy and tourism industries,
students and environmental groups have jointly called for an increase in
the Mandatory Renewable Energy Target during the submission period
for the review of the legislation.
The
statement "10 by 10" has been signed by Australian Medical
Association, the Institution of Engineers of Australia, Greenpeace,
Environment Business Australia, Planet Ark and the Australian Council
of National Trusts, the Electrical Trade Union of Australia, and the
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Roundtable, among others.
"To
get the highly skilled, long term jobs offered by renewable energy,
we need a target on a par with world standards that will make Australia a
regional export hub for renewable energy technologies," said Dean J.
Mighell, Branch Secretary of the Electrical Trade Union of Australia.
"Scotland
has recently raised the bar of global goals with a target of 40%
by 2020! he Howard Government's pitiful target, by contrast, is
equivalent to less than a 1% share by 2010."

CONFERENCES
13.
FOURTH ANNUAL GLOBAL CONFERENCE ON
ENVIRONMENTAL TAXATION
The
Fourth Annual Global Conference on Environmental Taxation will be
held in Sydney from June 5 to 7.
The
conference, to be hosted by Macquarie University, will be an
international forum for the exchange of ideas, information and research
findings on environmental taxation.
In
general, environmental tax measures either impose a tax cost on some
product or activity that is environmentally damaging, or they give a tax
benefit to some product or activity that is environmentally beneficial.
The
tax incentives for landcare programs and concessions relating to the
rehabilitation of mine sites are just two examples of activities that are
subject to environmental taxation rules.
All
categories of taxes - direct and indirect - can potentially incorporate
environmental tax measures, and all levels of government - local, state
and federal - can consider environmental taxes.
In
some instances, environmental taxes may complement environmental
regulation, and in others they may provide an option when regulation is
not appropriate.
For
further information about the conference phone Macquarie
University Senior Lecturer Mr Hope Ashiabor on (02) 9850 8457 or
Macquarie University Administrative Assistant Ms Jenny Shedden on
(02) 9850 7061, or see website: http://www.law.mq.edu.au/eti/program.htm

AGRICULTURE, BUSINESS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
ADVANCING THE EMS DEBATE.
The
third National Conference on Environmental Management Systems
in Agriculture, held from November 10-13 at the Barossa Arts and
Convention Centre in Tanunda.
The
conference is aimed at progressing the EMS in agriculture debate
and will provide attendees with the opportunity to network, hear new
ideas and compare experiences and approaches in the development of
EMS.
Awareness
of EMS has grown since the first two National Conferences
and this conference will extend the challenge to identify the place of
EMS in the landscape and business, and its integration with other
management approaches and competing demands on producers.
It
will also provide the opportunity to explore current efforts in
implementing EMS in agriculture, the use of relevant monitoring and
evaluation initiatives, and experiences in using EMS as part of a suite of
management tools.
Currently
there is an open invitation to authors to submit abstracts
supporting the theme of the conference, "Advancing the EMS Debate".
Abstracts
are due by June 30 2003. For more information on submitting
abstracts and the conference please go to the website at

EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST/FUNDING
16.
EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR MARKET-BASED
INSTRUMENTS PILOTS PROGRAM
Proposals
that use trade or offset mechanisms in a Market-Based
Instrument (MBI) pilot project to address dryland salinity are now
invited from suitably qualified organisations or individuals.
The closing date for proposals is 16 July 2003.
The
Program is a joint initiative of the Commonwealth, State and
Territories under the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality.
The goal of the Program is to increase Australia's capacity to use MBIs
to achieve natural resource management outcomes.
Dryland
salinity is an increasing problem in the Australian landscape
caused by the removal of deep-rooted native vegetation. The diffuse
nature of dryland salinity makes it difficult to identify the source of the
problem, in terms of areas of landscape contributing to rising salinity and
the points of discharge into rivers and streams. This is further
complicated by varying response times of salinity outcomes from any
given change in land use.
MBIs
encourage behaviour through market signals rather than through
explicit directives. This enables environmental goals to be achieved at a
more affordable cost to the community. Trade and offset mechanisms
prompt behavioural change by specifying amounts of new rights and
obligations. Where appropriate other MBIs can be used to support
trading or offset mechanisms, such as subsidies and auctions.
Under
a trade mechanism a limit can be placed on the total salt load
generated by various sources of dryland salinity. Participants may be
able to trade specified credits or rights in the salt load so that cost
effective methods of slowing the spread of salinity can be determined.
Offsets are a mechanism where negative activities, such as clearing
native vegetation, can be offset by separate actions with positive
impacts.
The
complex and diffuse nature of dryland salinity poses challenges in
the areas of property right specification, measurement and monitoring of
outcomes as well as enforcement. Proponents will need to address these
issues in the design of their trading or offset pilots.
For
more information and to download the proposal form and selection
criteria, which must be addressed, visit http://www.napswq.gov.au.
Alternatively
contact Genevieve Kelly on (02) 9228 6254 or Bryony Mika
on (02) 9228 6334.
Total funding for the pilot(s) is up to $360,000.
Community
groups from across Australia can apply for Commonwealth
Government financial assistance for innovative water saving projects in
rural and regional areas.Under the Natural Heritage Trust's new Water
Savings Project, funding will be awarded to projects that may include:
plans for renewing infrastructure; improving existing technologies; water
recycling and re-use; and new management systems and practices.
The
government will fund ideas that have potential to make significant
water savings, are new and innovative, and that have a practical
potential.
Applications
for the project funding must be submitted by June 13, with
the Commonwealth encouraging early submissions.
Funding allocations will be quantified on a case by case basis.
