Rangelands

Rangeland describes land that is expansive and that hasn’t experienced a large amount of change from European settlement.

Australia’s outback is mainly rangeland country – that’s 80 per cent of our landscape – while more than 90 per cent of the area within NQ Dry Tropics is rangeland that’s privately owned or leased for cattle grazing.

Funding for Graziers

Water quality improvement grants

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.
