​​With environmental regulations continuing to evolve, understanding what the changes mean for day-to-day farming and grazing operations has never been more important. AgForce Queensland is hosting a practical information session at Durong to help producers navigate the latest reforms to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act and better understand their obligations under the current regulatory framework.

The EPBC Reform Roadshow will be held on Monday, 14 September, bringing together industry representatives, government regulators and technical experts to provide practical guidance on how the reforms may affect on-farm decision-making and land management.

Leading the discussion will be Josie Fettersson, AgForce Queensland's Head of Industry Development, who will unpack the latest EPBC reforms and explain what they mean for farming and grazing businesses. The session will cover key topics including changes introduced under the reforms, the 15-year rule and regrowth management, continuing use exemptions, Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES), self-assessment and referral processes, compliance requirements and the potential impacts on routine farming operations.

Representatives from the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) – EPBC Regulatory Support Branch will also be available to answer questions directly and provide practical advice on EPBC requirements, compliance obligations and referral processes.

The program also includes a presentation from Mark Pawsey, CEO of AgCarE, introducing NatureLedger—a practical tool designed to help producers better understand the environmental values of their properties, support compliance requirements and make more informed land management decisions.

Designed as a practical roadshow rather than a policy briefing, the event aims to give producers the opportunity to ask questions, hear directly from industry experts and regulators, and access information that supports confident, informed decision-making on their own properties.

Morning tea and lunch are included, with plenty of time for networking with fellow producers, industry representatives, AgForce staff and corporate partners.
