Management of weeds in Australian rangelands: a basis for evaluating projects

There is presently no generally accepted way of evaluating weed related projects across Australian rangelands from the proposal through to the project completion stage, despite substantial investment in these activities. As a result, it is not possible to assess the overall effectiveness of many weed related investments. In order to better guide weed investment in the future, we propose a set of criteria on which to evaluate project objectives, methodologies, resources and achievements, whether the project is completed, underway, or in the proposal stage.
