Technical
Support
Across the basin, several community groups (known as
sub-regional groups
) work in partnership with FBA to provide information, resources
and technical support to landholders, community groups and others
working to improve land condition and water quality.
FBA and sub-regional field officers work with landholders who
voluntarily undertake training or implement projects on their
property to improve land management. Through working with
several hundred landholders FBA has been able to refine best
management practice guidelines and show the progress the Central
Queensland community is taking towards improving water quality in
the regions streams, rivers and ultimately entering the Great
Barrier Reef.
