Could this work in our club?
- Residents, landholders, schools, businesses and volunteers able to influence the selected local environmental outcome. Use when a competent environmental partner confirms the problem and the proposed action.
Before you start
- Technical advice on species, waste, water, biosecurity, cultural heritage and site impacts as relevant.
- Landowner, council, Traditional Owner, event, waste-disposal and insurance approvals documented.
- A baseline and monitoring plan that states who will maintain the result after the campaign.
At the end: Report the first monitoring result on the date promised, recognise partner and volunteer contributions accurately and continue updates until the maintenance handover is complete.
Before your club says yes
Does the idea fit?
Talk with the people it is meant to serve and check that the need is real.
Who can say yes?
Name the person or group that can approve the work, spending and any safety arrangements.
Are people protected?
Check privacy, consent and safety. Collect only the information you genuinely need.
Can everyone take part?
Check the language, format, place, technology and cost for barriers.
Are the facts and permissions right?
Check names, claims, images, quotations, partner references and Rotary branding.
How will we learn?
Note where things stand now, check in at 30, 60 and 90 days, and decide what to do next.
