PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS NEW LANDSCAPES

New landscapes

Fund eradication of predators on large, often privatelyowned landscapes and defend from reinvasion.

Outcomes Activities Targets for FY22/23

Significant acceleration in the rate of increase of land under predator control. Contribute to national 2025 targets:

• One million more hectares of mainland NZ where predators are suppressed.

• Demonstrate predator eradication on at least 20,000 ha of mainland NZ without use of fences.

• Effective tools and knowledge will be available to achieve predator eradication on farmland.

• Support the eradication of possums or mustelids from at least one New Zealand city. Fund landscape and product development projects. Support landscape-scale predator eradication and control across 823,000 hectares.11 Other parties including DOC will contribute additional area to achieve this target. Distribute $2.9M of Vote Conservation funding to 7 contracted large landscape projects and retain at least 2:1 co-funding commitment. Distribute $3.2M of Provincial Growth Fund allocation to 3 contracted large landscape projects and retain at least 2:1 co-funding commitment.

Distribute at least $15.5M to 14 large landscape projects (9 new and 5 extension or acceleration) funded through Budget 2020/Jobs for Nature.

Generate 120 project jobs (using Jobs for Nature FTE calculation). Target at least 1.5:1 co- funding commitment as measured over the life of the projects.

Distribute $4.0M from Budget 2020/Jobs for Nature allocation to new product development and system support. Generate 7 FTE Products to Project jobs (using Jobs for Nature FTE calculation).

Support projects to deliver outcomes with leading edge and novel solutions, innovation, and knowledge sharing, and in partnership with iwi, community and business. Distribute $824k of Provincial Growth Fund allocation to contracted ‘Products to Projects’ parties. Complete monthly and quarterly Jobs for Nature reporting, quarterly monitoring and reporting cycles during the financial year with contracted large landscape projects. Host one Project Coordination Workshop by the end of Q4 FY23 and facilitate exchange of operational and research learning between projects. Successfully implement a new end-to-end project support model that supports learning, knowledge transfer and scaled operations.

How we will measure performance How this target relates to our outcomes

Hectares of land where landscape-scale predator eradication and control is in place at end of Q4 FY23. Crucial component of our ongoing approach to increase the area of land under predator eradication and control and to deliver on national strategy interim goals.

Appropriation spend on identified activities by end of Q4 FY23. Measured commitment to 2:1 co-funding through established projects, identified via project quarterly reporting milestone tracking.
