Decision Support Advice Service <p class="subtitle">A free and independent advice service for regional NRM bodies.</p> <p>The service has been setup by the Knowledge for Regional NRM team at Land &amp; Water Australia and is run by a team from RM Consulting Group (RMCG) and Symbolix.</p> <p>The advice provided must relate to selecting decision-making approaches. This means that you can expect to receive written advice on potential methods of making a decision. These methods may range from generic decision approaches (such as multi-criteria analysis and Bayesian networks) through to specific and applied models and expert-based decision approaches.</p> <h2>What are the objectives?</h2> <p>This project is a trial to determine if such a service is useful to regional NRM bodies, and delivers improved quality of decision making. The key objectives are:</p> <ul> <li>to provide regional NRM bodies with independent advice on the selection of decision making approaches, and</li> <li>to examine and gather evidence of the value in providing regional bodies with access to anindependent advisory service for the selection of decision making approaches.</li> </ul> <h3>Some examples of types of questions include:</h3> <p>What are the different models available to estimate end of catchment salt loads under different management scenarios?</p> <p>We want to benchmark the ecological value of our estuaries, what methods are available to do that?</p> <p>We have a target to improve community awareness of minimum tillage benefits. How can we decide which actions will result in the best bang for buck?</p> <h2>How to access this service...</h2> <p>Contact Cate on&nbsp;<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; ">0427 679 048</span></p> 2009-05-26T03:04:50Z 2009-05-26T03:29:24Z
