This project will enhance the riparian health of the Burnett Brigalow Belt area by preventing livestock access, promoting native vegetation growth and stabilising riverbanks at six location in the region.

Activities include installation of at least10 kilometres of stock exclusion fencing and installation of off­stream watering points.

Landowners will be engaged to collect data and track the project’s impact.  The project aims to improve water quality by reducing sediment, nutrient and pathogen runoff.

This project has received funding support from the Queensland Government’s Community Sustainability Action grant program.

Landholders in the Boyne Catchment who expressed interest in our program will the have the opportunity to install stock exclusion fencing and install off stream watering points to permanently control livestock access to watercourses in the Brigalow Belt.

These project will protect riparian vegetation, promote native plant growth and stabilise riverbanks.
