PTE Description Details:
NATIONAL MARKET BASED INSTRUMENTS PILOT PROGRAM - ROUND 2 
Market-based instruments (MBIs) are proving to be a useful addition to existing natural resource
management tools.  
MBIs use trading mechanisms, auctions and price signals to change behaviour to benefit the
environment.  
Rather than prescribing activities or technology use, MBIs have the potential to allow more 
flexibility in how an outcome is achieved.
Round One of the National MBI Pilot Program focused on individual policy mechanisms that could
be employed in natural resource and environmental management. 
Total funding allocated for the first round of pilots was $5 million, with second round funding
of up to $5 million announced on 2nd December 2005.
Round Two of the Program will continue to investigate innovations in MBIs and address remaining
knowledge gaps. 
Importantly it will build on the successes of Round One by focusing on moving MBIs from trial 
to implementation stage. 
This could involve pilots that examine how different policy mechanisms fit together (MBIs, 
legislation, education etc.) and applications to different landscape or environmental problems 
where this changes the design or application of MBIs. 
The purpose of these pilots is to provide a comprehensive response to complex natural resource 
management and environmental issues.
Pilots may be new discrete projects, or proposals developed from Round One pilots, however they
must focus on National Action Plan regions. 
Project teams should aim to build capacity to implement MBIs through, for example, field-based
pilots or 'experimental economics' techniques.  
Knowledge arising from the pilot should be relevant to all Australian jurisdictions and able to
be used to enhance the delivery of future environmental and natural resource management programs.
Submitting an initial proposal  
Expressions of interest should not be more than 1,000 words and need to address the following
Selection Criteria:
(a) 	Address salinity, water quality and/or biodiversity issues and focus on National Action 
	Plan for Salinity and Water Quality regions.
(b) 	Address priority knowledge gaps in the design and application of MBIs revealed through
	the operation of Round 1, as identified in the Independent Evaluation Report and the
	Overview Report of the MBI Working Group; 
(c) 	Be conceptually robust - well-grounded in economic principles and supported by good
	quality biophysical information;
(d) 	Engage relevant agents, such as regional groups, Catchment Management Authorities and
	Landholders; 
(e) 	Involve partners with the experience, skills and knowledge necessary to undertake the
	project;
(f) 	Incorporate appropriate strategies for evaluation; and
(g) 	Learnings should be relevant to all Australian jurisdictions
