FBA works in partnership with sub-regional groups and landholders
to implement on-ground actions. These actions protect riparian
and wetland areas and deliver long term water quality,
biodiversity and productivity outcomes.
The Fitzroy Basin Association holds over 200 neighbourhood
catchments.
FBA encourages the acceleration of management action
adoption through its Neighbourhood Catchment Incentives
Scheme. Through this incentives scheme, landholders may be entitled
to up to 50% of the cost of capital infrastructure associated
with the protection of riparian and wetland environments.
Since 2002, over 500 projects have been undertaken throughout
the region. Please follow the links below to just a few case
studies of riparian and wetland projects.

Video Footage
Ingelara
is a property situated less than 20km from Carnarvon National
Park. The Ogg family run approximately1500 head of
cattle on 18000 acres in a good year. They have completed a
series of projects in the last few years to protect Oakey and
Carnarvon Creeks. Infrastructure developments include off-stream
watering systems along with riparian and
landtype fencing. The results speak for themselves with
improved grass cover in riparian areas, vegetation regeneration and
stock watering away from sensitive zones. All this with no loss in
productivity. Check out the video footage for more information
