*Under-represented backgrounds include:
SurveyingSA consists of representatives from the Surveyors Board of South Australia (SBSA), Surveying and Spatial Sciences Institute (SSSI), SSSI Young Professionals and the University of South Australia (UniSA). SurveyingSA has the aims of increasing the number of Licensed Surveyors in South Australia, promoting the profession and ensuring the continuity of surveying tertiary studies in the State.
The Brenton J Burford Scholarship has been established by SurveyingSA to recognise the long-standing and invaluable contribution of Mr Brenton J Burford to the profession of surveying in South Australia and Australia. Mr Burford lectured in the application of mathematics to surveying and geodosy at the South Australian Institute of Technology (now UniSA) and as a result trained many of the professional surveyors currently working within South Australia. He is remembered by these surveyors as a brilliant lecturer who challenged his students but always remained approachable. He continued his development and promotion of the profession in subsequent roles as a professional surveyor, office bearer in the Institution of Surveyors, Australia (SA Divisional President 1982-83, Federal President 1991-92) and chairman of the Surveyors Board of South Australia (1987-89). As a result of this service he was awarded the 1992 Institution of Surveyors, Australia, JB & JW Calder Award for his outstanding contributions to the surveying profession. He was also instrumental in the instigation of the current partnership between UniSA, the Surveyors Board of SA and the State Government that re-established the undergraduate and graduate programs in Surveying in South Australia. His legacy is one of service and commitment to the profession.
The Brenton J Burford Scholarship will be awarded annually to a student who has completed the Bachelor of Geospatial Science and is undertaking the Master of Surveying at the University of South Australia. The scholarship will be awarded to a student who has been deemed by the Selection Panel to be the most deserving recipient based upon them showing the qualities of: demonstrated aptitude for surveying, diligence to their studies with a demonstrated strong work ethic, positive attitude and willingness to contribute to the learning environment in the classroom and field.

Science and research underpin DEW ability to conserve natural environments and use natural resources more sustainably. DEW partners with academic institutions to gain the knowledge needed to improve Natural Resource Management (NRM) outcomes in South Australia.
The NRM Research and Innovation Network (NRM RaIN) aims to connect research providers with research users in either policy formation or on-ground management and to increase the usability of research by promoting and supporting collaboration between research institutions and NRM staff. This funding is to be used to support the NRM Research and Innovation Honours Scholarship program at the University of South Australia. This initiative will improve both the promotion and integration of practical NRM outcomes into academic research programs and assist graduating students in developing the skills that are most in demand across the SA Government Environment Portfolio.
In order to achieve this goal of promotion and integration, this funding will be provided to the University of South Australia to support selected Honours students, as determined by the Program Director, with a stipend. Support of $2500 will be awarded to four Honours students who are undertaking a project with applied outcomes to natural resource management in SA DEW will provide direction to the scope of the research, and if feasible, additional in-kind support including, but not limited to, vehicle access, data access and field assistance.
The key output from this support will be a brief paper (4-5 pages) highlighting the implications of each supported honours thesis to natural resource management. The paper will include management recommendations that aim to benefit DEW, or SA Water (SAW), and will be submitted to DEW at the same time as thesis submission.
