Reef Rescue Grazing
Grazing is the largest freehold landuse and a very important industry in the
Burnett Mary region. The Burnett Mary Reef Partnership is fortunate to have representation from a number of organisations with a strong
track record of supporting the grazing industry. The Burnett Catchment Care Association BCCA will lead implementation of the grazing component of reef Rescue with support
from Agforce, BMRG and DPI&F and the Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee MRCCC.
Sustainable Grazing
 Investment from the Australian Government's Reef Rescue program, enables the Burnett Mary Reef Partnership to support Graziers in implementing activity that improves enterprise sustainability
and Reef Water Quality. Graziers in the region will be able to access advice and
financial support for eligible activities that improve land management. For Graziers
to be eligible for support the properties must be in the priority area (see Priority map)and must meet specific guidelines. Activities fall into the following broad
categories;
- Land Condition assessment and monitoring systems and Pasture Budgeting
- Strategic Fencing and Watering points to improve evenness of grazing
- Grazing Land Management Planning
- Managing Wetlands and Water Courses
- Activities that increase/improve ground cover
Support for Graziers
If you own a grazing property in the priority area (check the priority areas
map) and are interested in finding out more about how Reef Rescue might support activities on your property. You can contact the Burnett Catchment Care Association.
