Fish in Crisis
Project Objectives and Outcomes
Natural Resources Investment Program - Vegetation
Fencing Northern Basin Riverbanks Project Good for farmers, Good for fish  The Australian Government funded Fencing Northern Basin Riverbanks Project (Qld) is a $7.5 million investment to support works to benefit farmers and fish. Southern Queensland Landscapes with support from the Queensland Government has been working with local communities, Aboriginal organisations and land managers to deliver the project before June 2023.
Murray-Darling Basin Toolkit As part of the Murray–Darling Basin Plan implementation, the Australian Government has allocated funding of up to $180 million in total for Queensland and New South Wales to implement a ‘toolkit’ of environmental works and measures in the northern Basin. SQ Landscapes has been engaged by the Queensland Government to implement the Northern Basin Toolkit Program in Queensland.
Bushfire Habitat Recovery Supported by the Australian Government This project aims to help communities recover important wildlife habitat across the Main Range area as a result of severe drought followed by bushfires in late 2019. In January 2020, the Australian Government made an initial investment of $50 million for emergency recovery of wildlife and habitat affected by bushfires. SQ Landscapes has been engaged as one of many groups and teams selected to conduct these recovery projects on the ground with funding of $100,000. The funds will be focused towards rebuilding ecological communities and helping the survival of native plant and animal species, and will be guided by field experts, research bodies, farmers and traditional owners.
Carbon Farming Study
Regional Land Partnerships - Environment Project is a $5.3 million dollar investment from the Australian Government through the National Landcare Program focused on improving three ecosystems in Southern Queensland including Brigalow and Weeping Myall remnants in the Murray-Darling Basin, Natural Grasslands and Poplar Box Grassy Woodlands of the Darling Downs and the Currawinya Ramsar Wetlands of south-west Queensland.
Tackle Erosion
About the Project The Regional Land Partnership (RLP) Program is funded by the Australian Government, with the goal to build the capacity of land managers to improve the condition and productivity of their properties. Improving the extent and condition of native vegetation has a marked impact on the holistic functioning of our landscapes. Common threats to native vegetation include: Invasion of introduced species and feral animals Impact by clearing and overgrazing Bush fire from high fuel loads Main threat reduction strategies include: Control and eradication measures for weeds Strategic fencing to manage livestock access and improve grazing management Alternative watering points to reduce stock dwell time in native bushland
