The Fitzroy Basin Association Inc. (FBA) is a community-based organisation that promotes sustainable development in Central Queensland.
To achieve our vision of empowered communities for a sustainable CQ, we work with stakeholders across the region who have an interest in the use and management of our natural resources to provide planning direction, information, advice and practical support.
Our role is to promote sustainable development, both urban, rural and industrial, in the Fitzroy Basin through Integrated Catchment Management (ICM) processes.
Fitzroy Basin Association Inc. (FBA) undertook water quality testing across the basin in October and December 2008 in response to concerns about water quality due to water being discharged from mines. You can see where we tested and download the full set of results here.
FBA also regularly monitors 20 sites across the Fitzroy Basin as part of the Priority Neighbourhood Catchments Water Quality Monitoring project. You can view and download baseline water quality data collected from these sites here.
