the modelled projections for water quality
entering the Great Barrier Reef, and where
areas of success can be transferred.
For example, LDC learnings have been
presented to potential future project
proponents in the Fitzroy catchment to help
inform design and delivery of future funding
projects.
While it is important that M&E data collected
for the LDC project is provided to participants,
all landholder information remains confidential
Any results shared beyond the property owners
and managers is anonymous, including reports
to Paddock to Reef (P2R) to monitor, model
and report against the Reef 2050 Water Quality
Improvement Plan.
Monitoring is a collaborative process. The
LDC project relies on many stakeholders to
contribute including:
•
•
•
•
landholders;
project partners;
industry; and
science partners
Together, all stakeholders help to design,
monitor and evaluate the success of the LDC
project.
