This report explores the potential of public-private partnerships (PPPs) for structuring the financing of major reforestation initiatives. Opportunities for leveraging private sector investment, and use of PPPs elsewhere in the world are documented. Recent activities in Victoria are used to consider the application of PPPs. The report outlines what has been learnt about PPP principles and processes, and gives guidelines for advancing public-private partnerships suitable for regional scale reforestation.
Catchment Management Authorities, natural resource management (NRM) agencies, local, State and Federal government policy makers and forestry representatives will find this report useful in considering ways to combine public and private investment to achieve broadscale reforestation.
