Protected: Erosion and Deer Control

Aims of the project:

• Address actively eroding features in the Great Basalt Wall landscape along the upper reaches of the Burdekin River.

• Support improved grazing land management through property planning and co-ordinated feral animal control — particularly, deer.

• Facilitate infrastructure development such as fencing and water points to enable land to be rested and grazing pressure spread.

• Support infrastructure improvements with targeted grants.

• Provide training and opportunity for landholders to be qualified in aerial culling of feral pests.

• Implement an ongoing collaborative and strategic approach to feral deer management across property boundaries to produce an effect that will benefit the whole region.
