Common use of Research Including Monitoring and Survey Clause in Contracts

Research Including Monitoring and Survey. By the five year review, a compendium of New South Wales forest research must be prepared by DUAP* and it must provide a bibliography of research in progress as well as published and unpublished work. This bibliography must be regularly updated. Consultation between agencies must occur in the development of joint research projects and jointly agree on priorities for research and survey. The major priority of future research in New South Wales must be an understanding of environmental impacts and the development of appropriate mechanisms to monitor and continually improve the sustainability of forest management practices. A strategy for important research and what monitoring is to be undertaken (including ESFM* indicators) must be prepared jointly by SFNSW* and NPWS* by 1 January 2000. The strategy must include other relevant land managers such as DLWC. All research reports relevant to this agreement must be made public. This must occur by locating on the internet details of how the information may be obtained and providing access to all information through DUAP*. SFNSW* has a number of continuing research projects in areas that were formerly State forests* and are now in national parks and nature reserves. The continuation of this experimentation and research is important for both SFNSW* and NPWS* in continuing to meet ESFM* including obligations under the Montreal Process. Continuing access is required by SFNSW* to these project areas, and therefore some roads and trails will need to be maintained in an open condition. Also some research areas will require increased levels of fire protection, as negotiated between the agencies. The type of activities involved in the continuing research obligations include: experimental burning; wildlife detection and capture; radio tracking; flora and seed sample collection; soil and water sampling; weirs and flow measurement; tree measurement, isolated harvesting operations in accordance with research requirements. Access by SFNSW* to sites of current SFNSW* research projects on the national park estate* must be negotiated on a case by case basis. The costs of providing access must be covered by SFNSW*. Research projects must be consistent with the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 and must not interfere with the management objectives of reserves. The conduct of practices required for research objectives that may not be in keeping with reserve management objectives must need to be negotiated on a case by case basis (e.g. road maintenance). Costs of maintaining research sites in a manner not in keeping with reserve management objectives must be covered by SFNSW* (e.g. road maintenance). SFNSW* must provide NPWS* with details of affected studies, the location of sites and access requirements by 1 December 1999. SFNSW* will share the results of this work with relevant agencies.

Research Including Monitoring and Survey. By the first five year review, a compendium of New South Wales forest research must be prepared by DUAPDoP* and it must provide a bibliography bibliography, to be regularly updated, of research in progress as well as progress, in addition to published and unpublished work.
