Wallis Lake Estuary Management Plan 7 Funding requirements and sources The total cost of implementing the 45 strategies recommending 151 actions addressing 9 general management themes (including implementation; Table 7.1) is $11,411,500. This cost may be considerably larger if the most cost effective and environmentally suitable wastewater management scheme for Coomba Park is to provide sewerage services, estimated at $8,910,000, and bringing the total cost of implementing the WLEMP to $20,321,500. Table 7.2 distinguishes between the priority of the actions and includes a breakdown of expenditure. Some actions require an ongoing commitment from existing staff rather than the outlay of expenditure and this is noted as ‘Time’. For other actions an approximate costing is not yet possible (TBD), however the financial implications of implementing these actions may be substantial.

To finance these actions funding from alternative sources outside of council budgets will be necessary. Use of the full suite of funding opportunities is encouraged so that the objectives of the WLEMP can be realised. In addition to funds from GLC budgets and recurrent funds from DIPNR, DEC, Waterways and DPI, other potential funding sources include the Recreational Fishing Trust, the National Heritage Trust and the Hunter/Central Rivers CMA. The Hunter/Central Rivers CMA was formed in 2004 to report directly to the Minister for Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources on natural resource management issues in the Hunter/Central Rivers catchment region. Funds can be obtained from the CMA for projects in the region addressing vegetation and biodiversity, riparian and water quality, salinity, soils and acid sulfate soils. Continuation of the GLC environmental levee is critical to the implementation of this plan. The levee was first enforced mid 2001. Many actions in this plan have resulted from recommendations from studies conducted with funds from the first 3 years of the levee. If the Levee were to continue for 10 years it would allow these actions to be implemented. 106
