Mapping the way Forward: NRM in the Kent-Frankland

Period: 2023 - 2024
Funding Body: State NRM
Funds: $27,550
Project Officers: Freya Spencer


Summary

This project will develop a series of protocols enabling organisations to process and consolidate project data, digitisation of NRM in the Kent-Frankland region, and consulting our Menang community to acknowledge caring for country. Good data management allows organisations to establish baselines, benchmarks, and goals to keep moving forward.

Outcome

  • Development of a protocol for active management of spatial data in consultation with Ecotones in a six stage approach

  • Apply data management to existing and historical project spatial data

  • Mapping caring for country in collaboration with Menang community

  • Consolidation of current project data alongside historical project data, integrated into one accessible file system, to increase the ability to manipulate and analyse data

  • Protocols shared at a workshop session attended by South Coast NRM, catchment groups, and Ecotones, enabling supported transfer of the protocols, and discussion of future data management across the South Coast region.

  • Measure impact by using consolidated spatial data to produce statistics and mapping. Impact report to be presented at Gillamii's AGM
