The Landholders Driving Change (LDC) project panel met in Collinsville in October to discuss the Queensland Government’s investment in the LDC.
This investment supports graziers and other land managers to implement best practices to improve land condition and water quality.
Members discussed progress towards achieving LDC’s objectives:
- Gully Monitoring and Maintenance.
- Community water quality monitoring program.
- Grazing land management extension and training planning.
- Policy engagement planning.
- Rural roads run off.
- Birriah and Juru Traditional Owner participation.
- Fire management in National Parks.
- Gully repair knowledge transfer to Queensland’s Parks and Wildlife Services (QPWS).
While formal accountability for delivery of the LDC project rests with NQ Dry Tropics, the Project Panel provides a steering role.
Its role includes:
- reviewing key LDC project strategy documents and oversight of their implementation;
- reviewing annual work plans and progress reports;
- guiding and advising on communications activities; and
- identifying and facilitating links, projects, research, policies and programs relevant to successful delivery of the project.
Bristow Hughes resigns from panel
Grazing project panel member Bristow Hughes, Wentworth Cattle Co, (pictured), juggling many competing commitments, has resigned from his position.
Bristow has been a panel member since LDC’s inception in 2017. He has provided valuable insights and guidance during the past seven years, and he and his family have hosted numerous events, workshops, field days and project panel visits in that time.
We wish Bristow and his family all the best!
