Tender Description

SRA is seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced individuals or groups to undertake the review. The work is to be completed within 20 weeks.

This review will:
1. Identify the best green market opportunities (verifiable/regulated) for the Australian sugarcane industry, name risks and recommend what growers and millers must do to exploit the opportunities.
2. Document available “methods”, guides to implementing the methods, legal requirements to undertake the method for a successful contract, project activities, potential carbon claims, time frames, obligations, and implications.
3. Present case studies of farms that are optimised for green markets vs. those designed to grow more sugarcane.
4. Identify what industry can learn and adopt from other rural industries or RDCs.
5. Present the broad connection to circular and bioeconomy and sustainability practices.

The findings of the review will be used by SRA, to consult with industry and inform efforts to minimise environmental impacts and exploit opportunities for improving resource use efficiency, support diversification, influence policy and improve social licence to operate.
