The land, soils and agriculture programme works to achieve
sustainable, productive and profitable agriculture land management:
improved land condition throughout the region: and enhance the
quality of water delivered to creeks, rivers and the Great Barrier
Reef lagoon.
The goals of the land, soils and agricuture programme are
to:
- deliver improved water quality outcomes from both grazing and
intensive agricutlural sectors; and
- deliver improved biodiversity outcomes on priority areas of the
Burdekin rangelands.
This
program, along with the Supporting an integrated
monitoring response for the Burdekin Water Quality Improvement
Plan sub program form the basis for the delivery
of the Reef Rescue program.
The
foundation for delivery of land, soils and agriculture
outcomes is through targeted, property scale investment,
underpinned by extension, demonstration and property management
planning. Investment will be directed towards identified priority
catchments. This mode of delivery provides for the integration of
other natural resource outcomes, including the strategic management
of biodiversity and pest plants and animals.
