A review of the Riparian Lands R&D Program Phase Two was conducted in 2004 and found that the standard of the science was very high and was highly relevant to the management of riparian zones. The program had maintained a strong publication record and had a high level of ability to communicate to a wide range of audiences. The review reported that the Riparian Lands Program had a high proﬁle and had a substantial potential to inﬂuence river management, planning, investigation and policy. The program became the principal R&D Program in Australia associated with riparian land science and management.

National Riparian Lands Research Development - Phase One

Phase 1 of the Program ran for nearly 7 years in total. It had 3 sub-programs, two based on scientific experimentation and one on practical application through a series of demonstration projects. Phase 1 had funding of $4.6m from Land & Water Australia, $0.7m from third parties (mainly State agencies) and $2.3m from research organisations. It was guided by an advisory committee with representation from Commonwealth, State and Territory agencies. This group played an important role in making sure the R&D responded to issues faced by river managers, and also in taking research results back into agency policy and programs.
