The management interventions considered by the Mallee NRM for Climate Change Plan (pdf, 58.1 MB) are those that were defined and categorised during the development of the Mallee Regional Catchment Strategy 2013-19 (pdf, 31.1 MB) (RCS). Each category of intervention represents a broad range of individual management options that can be individually developed or adapted to suit the prevailing conditions, landscape or desired outcome.

Please note: Review and renewal of the RCS (2022-28) has continued to apply this approach regarding management intervention categories.

Priority Landscapes for Carbon Planting

Priority landscapes for carbon plantings were determined by applying the priority ratings assigned to two specific intervention categories within individual Catchment Asset and Between Asset areas. These intervention categories are: 

• Habitat restoration - planting within existing habitat; and 
• Revegetation - planting to re-create habitat.

The Catchment and Between Asset areas that are a ‘medium’ or ‘high’ priority for these interventions are the region’s priority landscapes for carbon plantings.

Please note:

• The Catchment Asset boundaries have since been updated and renamed as Local Areas in the renewed Mallee RCS (2022-28). The below table outlines how the Catchment Asset boundaries equate to the Local Areas. As such, the information pertaining to Catchment Assets remains relevant. These boundary changes are also displayed on the Maps page.
• The above Priority Corridors have been applied in the renewal of the 2022-28 RCS.
