Watertight

The Queensland Government has established the WaterTight program to be carried out by the Natural Resource Management groups

WATER QUALITY

This water quality project delivers a strategic approach to ensure clean water essential for community services. It also fosters improvements in waterway health.

Emergency Plan

The BANC Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan outlines preparedness response and recovery actions for each asset with the aim of reducing the impact of catastrophic events.

Prickly Acacia

Funded by the Commonwealth Government, the project aims to improve property planning to ensure that the current threats to springs are reduced.

Cactus weeds have become more aggressive in our region due to climate shifts, drought and rainfall variability.

iPads are not just toys for us. They’ve become critical tools in recording our data and helping us to refine our mapping.

Sometimes, even mother nature needs a hand. Having perfected Prickly Acacia control, we have begun seeding work to “turbo charge” pasture recovery.

The increased cost of diesel, along with its health and environmental issues, has opened the door for a new kind of herbicide.
