BuzzBids - expressions of interest now open
Based in the Upper South East of South Australia, BuzzBids aims to provide funding to landholders to re-establish native vegetation on their properties to contribute to nature conservation and/or habitat for pollinators of lucerne. To be eligibile, sites must be:
-
located within the BuzzBids project boundary,
-
0.5 hectares or greater, and
-
a minimum width of 20 metres.
Landholders are invited to put in a bid price for undertaking the revegetation. There is no fixed limit on the amount of money a landholder can bid for; however, bidding will be competitive. BuzzBids will determine the value for money of each revegetation plan and bid price, and will allocate funds accordingly.
If you are interested in this new initiative, please call a BuzzBids officer on 0447 037 903 to register your expression of interest. Expressions of interest can also be made by downloading and returning the Expression of Interest form.
Expressions of Interest opened on the 20th November 2018. Landholders are advised to be quick to express interest as over subscription may result in later registrations missing out.
Detailed information about the BuzzBids project can be found in the brochure and information sheets below.

Revegetation service providers
Landholders may wish to use a revegetation service provider to assist in costing their tender, and to implement their revegetation plan if successful. The following table lists the names and contact details of revegetation service providers who operate within the BuzzBids project boundary. Please note this list is non-exhaustive and there may be other revegetation service providers, or providers of similar services (e.g. weed control or fencing contractors), who also operate within this area. Please also note that no preference is intended to be given to any one provider, nor is any criticism implied of any provider not mentioned. BuzzBids and O'ConnorNRM neither endorses nor guarantees in any way the services, advice, or products of the listed providers.
