To evaluate project success, we need a starting point aginst which to measure. In part, this will be done through surveys. Graziers’ participation will help the project team to respond to landholder priorities by adapting existing program areas and designing new areas of support. I would like to thank the project panel members who helped fi nalise the survey questions, and thank those graziers who have completed, or have agreed to complete, the survey. My expectation is that The DIRT, along with other communication initiatives, will highlight project success stories. I look forward to reading about landholders and what they are achieving. LDC is an exciting project with big expectations from both the government and the BBB community. The LDC team is ready to help deliver results. Call us at any time to discuss any aspect of the LDC.

DIRT THE It’s all about having a say is designed from the L To DC ground up. ensure our grass roots remain front and centre throughout the implementation phase, all landholders within the BBB are encouraged to ‘have their say’ to help guide the direction of the project. Having a say also helps guide the best use of available funds. The Landholder Needs And Opportunities For Support Survey is a key activity to make this happen and the results will help to inform prioritisation activities in the BBB during the next 12 months. Have a chat with your local fi eld offi cers who will listen to your property needs and business priorities to ensure the LDC activities we muster up are the best bang for buck!
