Burdekin Water Quality Improvement Plan

File: 415

Is one of eight water quality improvement plans developed for the drainage areas of the Great Barrier Reef.

The plan outlines recommended water quality targets and best practices for reducing the sediment and agricultural chemicals going into creeks, rivers and the ocean.

The Burdekin Water Quality Improvement Plan is detailed in a comprehensive 136-page book which depicts the current condition of the region’s 48 sub-catchments and the associated best management practices for grazing and sugar lands.

The Burdekin Water Quality Improvement Plan Catchment Atlas is also available.
