The Department of Primary Industries and Water (DPIW) through its SMART Farming
Initiative wishes to implement a program under which the Department provides
funding to farmers to subsidise the cost of preparation of a Farm Water
Development Plan (FWDP).
As this is a new initiative, the Department wishes to commission the services
of suitably qualified consultants to produce Farm Water Development Plans for
three properties located around Tasmania under a pilot program.
The outcomes from the pilot will then be used to assess how to refine the
framework for the development of farm water development plans on a commercial
basis over the next three years.
The Department is seeking quotations from suitable consultants to undertake the
preparation of each of three pilot plans. A brief, available from the
Department, provides details of the three properties selected for the pilot
work. The Department will be commissioning the work for each of the three
plans separately although a single consultant may be awarded the work for more
than one of the pilot plans.
