What is a Heritage Agreement
A Native Vegetation Heritage Agreement is a conservation area on private land. It is an agreement, established between the landholder and the Minister for Climate, Environment and Water. Heritage Agreements are established in perpetuity to protect and enhance the natural character of a site’s flora and fauna.Â
There are incentives available for landholders entering into a new heritage agreement or for those that already have an agreement.Â
Heritage Agreements have a minimum size
Heritage agreements can be as small as 1 ha if they contain rare or threatened vegetation communities, plant, animals or associated habitats. The minimum area is 3 ha for common vegetation types.
Heritage Agreement Grants
The Limestone Coast Landscape Board is supporting local landholders in partnership with the Department for Environment and Water to manage existing and establish new Heritage Agreements over native vegetation.
Expressions of interest for grant funding for Heritage Agreements in the Limestone Coast are now open.
