Facilitating change and overcoming barriers • 65% of BBB landholders say they are now ‘motivated’ to do more to improve water quality. • A ‘new incentives’ program launched to help accelerate practice change to improve water quality encouraged six landholders to undertake their first LDC project, and a seventh landholder established a ‘Community Learning Hub’ to showcase land management initiatives. • Facilitated engagement occurred between landholders and government decision makers on relevant policy and regulatory issues: • Informed and provided feedback for reef protection regulations; • Held vegetation management laws workshops; and • A roundtable prioritised an on-property trial to better understand and to test the interaction between the reef protection regulations and vegetation management requirements. 25
