Partnering with land managers, industry and the community to achieve a more sustainable central Queensland

The Fitzroy Basin Association Inc. (FBA) is a community-based organisation that works to protect natural assets, improve adoption of modern and environmentally-friendly land management practices, and promote sustainable development.

We work with stakeholders across the Fitzroy Basin and coastal catchments who have an interest in the use and management of our natural resources to provide planning direction, information, advice and practical support.
