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.
Applications are now open. Maximise your productivity with our water quality improvement grants. We can help you with funding to carry out gully and river fencing, fencing to land types and erosion control which not only improve your property but also benefit your wider community. Improving ground cover and keeping your soil on your property means your place will be more resilient during the dry season.
Funding is available for practices that reduce nutrients, sediments and pesticides leaving farms.
Property management plans act as business plans and are useful for keeping track of natural resources on properties, property design and management practices.
NQ Dry Tropics' management area, the Burdekin Dry Tropics region, is located in north eastern Queensland. Covering an area of approximately 138,000 square kilometres (almost eight per cent of the state), the region is primarily defined by the catchment area of the Burdekin River. The region extends into marine waters and includes Magnetic Island and the Palm Islands.
NQ Dry Tropics funds a range of environmental activities within the Burdekin dry tropics region. We currently offer funding and support for the following groups:
