The Fitzroy Basin Association Inc. (FBA) is regional community
based organisation that exists to facilitate sustainable
development in Central Queensland. It is one of
14 regional bodies in Queensland
and
55 Australia wide
. FBA is funded by Australian and Queensland government
programmes, including the
National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality (NAPSWQ)
and the
Natural Heritage Trust Extension (NHT2)
.
Regional natural resource management grew out of the
Landcare
and Catchment Management movement and now sees groups like the
Fitzroy Basin Association and our partners providing support to
improve land condition, water quality and biodiversity across the
region for a sustainable social, economic and environmental future.
Five sub
regions encompassing over a dozen river catchments make up the Fitzroy
Basin region, with field officers and sub-regional groups
supporting communities across all of them.
