Afforestation Grant Scheme Guidelines

Payment of Grants

A grantee may lodge a claim for payment when the forest is successfully established including a statutory declaration to that effect, and when a geospatial map of the planted area is supplied. Normally, this will be at least six weeks after the tree releasing operation in the spring following planting.

With assisted indigenous reversion, a claim may be lodged when the operations specified in the application such as fencing, animal control etc have been completed.

The administrator will audit a proportion of claims to confirm compliance with the establishment standard, and will generally make payments within 30 working days of receiving claims. Adjustments may be made to claims if part of the application area is deemed to have not met the standard.
