This was acknowledged, and was incorporated into the
Grazing Requirements fact sheets as follows:
“It is recognised that:
For some land types it may not be possible
to achieve 50 per cent ground cover at 30
September each year even when taking all
reasonable steps. It may be impractical and
cost-prohibitive to improve some
areas of very degraded land, e.g. severe
gullying or scalded areas. If so, measures
must be taken to prevent these areas
from further degrading or expanding”.
During the consultation process, graziers also questioned
whether there would be an acknowledgement of grazing
properties that had participated in accredited programs.
The reef regulation fact sheets have been updated to include
this information.
The LDC has made a commitment to provide information
about the regulations to landholders in the Burdekin region,
including the BBB.
