Reef Rescue Grazing

Grazing is the largest freehold land use 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

Grazing is a very important industry in the Burnett Mary RegionInvestment 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
