What the buyer is requesting
Details
The Office of the Great Barrier Reef and World Heritage (OGBR&WH) is seeking to procure the services of experienced suppliers with relevant regional knowledge, capability, and capacity to deliver the Regions for the Reef Ideation phase in one or more Reef sub-catchments.
The supplier will create the space for diverse stakeholders across one or more Reef sub-catchments to come together and explore the potential opportunities and challenges in their local environment to – connect investment, resources and services; empower local communities; strengthen local economies; build an enduring legacy; and improve land management and Reef water quality outcomes. At the end of the project, the supplier will deliver a report to OGBR&WH on the outcomes of this collaboration and idea exploration process.
OGBR&WH expects to fund multiple ideation initiatives to deliver collaborative forums and/or other engagement activities across the six Reef regions by the end of February 2027.
Background information / Compatibility requirements
Details
The Queensland Government has committed to deliver Phase 3 of the Queensland Reef and Catchment Water Quality Program. This includes a new Regional On-Ground Program (Regions for the Reef) that will fund integrated place-based projects across the Reef regions to support progress towards Reef water quality targets. The Regions for the Reef Program involves an ideation and implementation phase. The Ideation phase is a short-term activity to support local stakeholders to come together and explore ideas for improving water quality across one or more Reef sub-catchments, in preparation for the release of the Regions for the Reef Implementation phase grant round in coming months.
