LDC — looking back , looking forward
Grassroots thinking behind the program
Why is the BBB in the spotlight ?
NQ Dry Tropics is piloting a suite of landscape interventions and land management efforts at catchment-scale to improve water quality and long-term sustainable land management in the Bowen Broken Bogie ( BBB ).
This work is funded by the Queensland Government through the Queensland Reef Water Quality Program , and the Australian Government through the Great Barrier Reef Foundation and the Reef Trust Partnership .

The project was born from recommendations made by the Great Barrier Reef Water Science Taskforce . This project was called Landholders Driving Change ( LDC ), a reflection of the grassroots led Major Integrated Project model .
The underlying premise of LDC was that every grazier had different knowledge , resources , motivations and barriers and , consequently , ‘ one size fits all ’ solutions did not deliver the necessary landscapelevel changes required .
LDC was designed from the ‘ ground up ’, with actions and support targeted to landholder needs in a flexible , tailored way . LDC trialled a mix of new and conventional activities to achieve land management outcomes at a landscape scale , providing a foundation for the adoption of improved management practices for increased sustainability , profitability and for management of erosion and sediment loss .
