There’s a busy year ahead for
THE aim of LDC is to deliver enduring and
sustainable land management within the communities
of the Bowen, Broken and Bogie (BBB) catchment.
This will help improve the productivity of grazing
enterprises, reduce the loss of sediment and
particulate nutrients, and decrease the impact on
important wetlands, coastal aquatic habitats and
ecosystems, and the Great Barrier Reef.
The BBB catchment is about 11,718 km 2 with 181
properties (not including Collinsville urban areas).
Of these, 71 are grazing properties larger than 2000
hectares.
While these 71 properties are the primary focus of
the BBB Grazing Support activity area, all properties
remain within scope of the other activity areas.
The project’s five
activity areas
l BBB Grazier Support
l Landscape Remediation
l Influencing Other Land Managers
l Exploring New Incentives
l Policy Engagement
