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.
