Private Land. The NFPS established that the CAR Reserve System will in the first instance be selected from public land. However, the NFPS and National Reserve Criteria (XXXXX 1997) recognise that a range of strategies will be appropriate for protecting biodiversity on private land. These range from purchase of priority areas for inclusion in the reserve system, to mechanisms which ensure protection, such as covenants on freehold land. Inclusion of private land in the CAR Reserve System will be voluntary. Mechanisms which provide for the protection of biodiversity on private land in Victoria include: Conservation covenants under the Victorian Conservation Trust Xxx 0000; Land Management Cooperative Agreements under the Conservation Xxxxxxx xxx Xxxxx Xxx 0000; Wildlife Management Cooperative Areas under the Wildlife Xxx 0000; Critical habitat provisions of the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Xxx 0000; Provisions of the Planning and Environment Xxx 0000. Private land protected by these mechanisms could be included in the CAR Reserve System with the consent of the landholder. Endangered, vulnerable and rare EVCs within the Central Highlands have been assessed within a Statewide context to identify the importance of the region for their conservation. The priorities for protection of EVCs occurring in the Central Highlands is shown in Table 3. The distribution of these EVCs, outside of the CAR Reserve System, is predominantly on private land.

Private Land. (a) In order to ensure efficient implementation of the Project, the Project SPV shall also have the right to acquire (either by acquisition or on a lease basis) any private land in and around the site of any Unit and the details of which are provided in the land portal made accessible as part of the RfS, at its sole discretion, cost and responsibility. In such events, the Project SPV shall have the option to directly enter into lease agreement(s) with the landowner(s) based on the indicative terms and conditions as set out hereinbelow:
Private Land. 58. The Parties reaffirm their commitments made in the NFPS to the conservation and management of the Private Forest Estate and acknowledge that the State: • has a policy for maintaining a permanent Native Forest Estate to regulate the extent of clearing and conversion of the Native Forest Estate, including on Private Land; • has native vegetation retention controls under the Forest Practices Xxx 0000 (Tas) and the Nature Conservation Xxx 0000 (Tas) to regulate the clearance and conversion of threatened native vegetation communities, including on Private Land; • maintains a Forest Practices System that requires private Forest Owners to undertake their management operations consistently with the principles of Ecologically Sustainable Forest Management; • will continue to provide ongoing monitoring and management support services to Owners of covenanted land under the Nature Conservation Xxx 0000 (Tas).
Private Land. 18. The Parties agree that the program to protect conservation values on Private Land, as outlined in Attachment 8, will contribute to the regional protection of National Estate Values.
Private Land. 53. The Parties reaffirm their commitments made in the NFPS to the conservation and management of the private Forest estate. The Parties note that Western Australia has a management system in place that regulates the clearance of native Forest on Private Land.
Private Land. There is a commitment to the conservation and management of the private forests. Conservation values occur on private land and these areas were not identified publicly during the assessment process, but must be an ongoing priority for conservation and protection as part of this agreement. Conservation values on private land are complementary to the CAR reserve system* identified on public land. There is a commitment to the voluntary inclusion of private land, where the conservation values either do not occur on public land or are not adequately reserved on public land. Attachment 7 outlines principles applying to private land and voluntary mechanisms that may be applied to achieve conservation on private land. These include various contractual arrangements such as Voluntary Conservation Agreements under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974, Property Management Plans under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 and Property Management Plans under the Native Vegetation Conservation Act 1997. The protection of high conservation values on private land must be facilitated by RACAC*. To assist RACAC*, NPWS* by 1 January 2000 must identify forest ecosystems on private land, that are a conservation priority for inclusion in the CAR reserve system*. For the LNE Region this will require completion and incorporation of the CRAFTI* and land capability data into regional databases. By 1 January 2000, RACAC* must establish a committee and seek funding (subject to availability and approval) to promote protection of conservation values on private lands within the LNE Region. Where acquisition of lands is proposed it must be subject to the involvement of DMR* in assessment and valuation of mineral interests prior to any decision to proceed. The role of the Native Vegetation Conservation Act 1995 in conserving native vegetation on private land is acknowledged and the work by RACAC* must seek to complement and assist implementation of this Act. Private forest owners must be encouraged to undertake their management operations in a manner consistent with ESFM* principles, and agree that CRA data sets and reports must be made available to interested parties (such as Regional Vegetation Management Committees or Xxxx Fire Committees), for use in developing management operations consistent with ESFM* principles.
Private Land a. In the event that occupation of private land within the Concession Area will be required for or incidental to the Operations, the CONCESSIONAIRE shall endeavor, by direct agreement with the owner(s), to enter upon and utilize such private land.
Private Land. Disposition of collections recovered from privately-owned lands that are submitted to the Society under this agreement must be accompanied by a written transfer of title to the collections from the landowner to the State of Minnesota.
Private Land. 58. The Parties reaffirm their commitments made in the NFPS to the conservation and management of the Private Forest Estate and in particular the State reaffirms its commitments: • to continue to ensure that owners of Private Forest comply with the Forest Practices Code (Tas.) for timber harvesting and regeneration operations; and • to continue to develop adequate mechanisms to protect State and regional nature conservation and catchment values on Private Land; and • to undertake the initiatives specified in Attachments 9, 10 and 11, which are relevant to Private Land.
Private Land. Endangered, vulnerable and rare EVCs within the North East have been assessed within a Statewide context to identify the importance of the region for their conservation. The priorities for protection of EVCs in the North East is shown in Table 3. The distribution of these EVCs, outside of the CAR Reserve System, is predominantly on private land.

These range from purchase of priority areas for inclusion in the reserve system, to mechanisms which ensure protection, such as covenants on freehold land. Inclusion of private land in the CAR Reserve System will be voluntary. Mechanisms which provide for the protection of biodiversity on private land in Victoria include: • Conservation covenants under the Victorian Conservation Trust Act 1972 (Vic); • Land Management Cooperative Agreements under the Conservation Forests and Xxxxx Xxx 0000 (Vic); • Wildlife Management Cooperative Areas under the Wildlife Xxx 0000 (Vic); • Critical habitat provisions of the Flora and Fauna Xxxxxxxxx Xxx 0000 (Xxx); • Provisions of the Planning and Environment Xxx 0000 (Vic). Private land protected by these mechanisms could be included in the CAR Reserve System with the consent of the landholder. Both Parties agree that within the Statewide framework established in the Victorian Biodiversity Strategy and Regional Catchment Strategies, Victoria will review private land in the North East and identify native vegetation, including endangered, vulnerable and rare EVCs (listed in Table 3) which are priorities for protection and possible in...
