landholders

16 June 2010

Graziers are still confused about new Queensland Government reef protection legislation.

Over 500 landholders in our region attended information days throughout north Queensland explaining the new environment plans they need to do.

By September this year all graziers on properties over 2,000 hectares in the Burdekin Dry Tropics natural resource management region have to complete an Environment Risk Management Plan.

NQ Dry Tropics is a community based not-for-profit company. We have been working to improve the environment in north Queensland’s dry tropics for over a decade.

NQ Dry Tropics is one of 14 recognised natural resource management bodies in Queensland that works with federal and state governments to deliver positive outcomes for natural assets. Our funding comes from the Australian Government’s Caring for our Country initiative and the Queensland Government’s Q2 Coasts and Country initiative.
