NQ Dry Tropics is supporting cane farmers’ involvement in Project Catalyst. The Project is about helping progressive farmers who are developing practices that improve the quality of water leaving farms.

Project Catalyst was born in the Mackay Whitsundays area by natural resource management group Reef Catchments and has expanded into north Queensland with the support of NQ Dry Tropics.

Driving on beaches is a popular activity in north Queensland for boaties, swimmers, and explorers.

Beaches in the Burdekin and Townsville regions are under increasing pressure from vehicle use.

Public safety concerns are also rising.

NQ Dry Tropics as a member of The Coastal Vehicle Management Steering Committee is working to reduce the impacts of vehicles on our beaches.
