​The annual BMRG Science Forum is on again, the 2026 event hosted in the Bundaberg region.

We invite you to join us as we focus this year's event on Reducing Sediment and Protecting the Reef. We look forward to bringing together partners, researchers, landholders and community, with a great line up of speakers, to share knowledge, strengthen collaboration and showcase science driving positive environmental outcomes across the Burnett Mary region.

We have a jam packed agenda, morning tea and lunch provided, ending the day with a field site visit to the Burnett River - showcasing a current riverine restoration project, located nearby on the college campus.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Hear from leading scientists and researchers from the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation with insights into the Paddock to Reef program.

• See engineered log jams, pile fields and how restoration supports threatened species on our latest riverine restoration site at the Lower Burnett River Chaverim (Shalom College)

• Gain insight into cultural values of river systems and stewardship of country

• Immerse yourself in our "story telling" session focussed on outcomes directly linked to investment in natural capital and maximising co-benefits

• Learn how BMRG partners with landholders and community to achive outcomes

This complimentary event is hosted by Burnett Mary Regional Group as part of the Paddock to Reef Integrated Monitoring, Modelling and Reporting program, jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland governments
