"Landholders in part of Northern Victoria will be paid $1 million to protect and improve native vegetation on private properties through the Brumby Government’s BushTender scheme. Environment and Climate Change Minister Gavin Jennings said landholders in part of the North Central catchment area are eligible to register their interest now for the Northern Plains BushTender. The new BushTender area runs south of Kerang, through Durham Ox in the west and the eastern boundary runs up close to Rochester. The area also includes Pyramid Hill, Milloo and Gunbower. “The Brumby Government is taking action to protect Victoria’s landscape and biodiversity and this action has become even more important because of the threat of climate change,” Mr Jennings said."
