I’m inspired on a daily basis by the truly amazing things we achieve through working together and the positive difference that makes to our families and our region.

I enjoy working with a team of like-minded individuals that collectively make a positive change to the environment and the lives of all the people of central Queensland. I aim to continue building on the successes that FBA has achieved in the last two decades.

At the end of the day I just love the people I work with and the challenges and learnings I gain along the way – they’ve all helped shape who I am today.

More than anything I enjoy working with others to make a difference. Influencing positive outcomes for people and building goodwill and reputation is what I’m all about!

An organisation, like the environment, is made up of interacting systems. Understanding those systems, and developing them to be more robust and resilient, is where I thrive.

A team is always greater than the sum of its parts. My passion is bringing the right players together, at the right time and place, to kick goals for our environment and for our future.

When you work with passionate people committed to shaping a better future, it is impossible not to feel inspired. I consider it a privilege to share and celebrate the positive impact FBA is making within our community. By working together as a region, even small changes can lead to significant outcomes, and each person has a valuable role to play.

I love working at FBA because it has afforded me the opportunity to be in a team that is fighting for a sustainable future. Providing all team members with financial assistance to help them reach their project goals gives me great satisfaction.

Having grown up in the grazing industry, I enjoy helping landholders improve their business and restore their land through best practice, and help them increase their production and profits.

I approach NRM like I approach life… it’s a marathon, not a sprint… you can’t accomplish without help from others… every problem is an opportunity… think big picture!

Our natural environment is the most precious thing we have, and I feel very fortunate that I get to work alongside the community and my fellow colleagues to make meaningful changes to help preserve and grow a more sustainable region for the future.

I enjoy being involved in a community and contributing to regional areas, I believe people are the greatest asset to creating a sustainable future.

I love working with people on projects that enhance our natural assets… I have a particular soft spot for our amphibian friends so am known as ‘the frog lady’ in some circles!

I studied Freshwater Biology and Management and love everything to do with the quality of our water in the environment and doing what has to be done to ensure we have sustainable, healthy water supplies into the future.

Working with a unique team of people who are all committed to achieving goals that really benefit all Central Queensland communities is amazing, and being part of that team that enables and supports positive change across so many CQ landscapes is what it is all about!

I have a wealth of experience working in, Federal, State and Territory Governments, mainly within the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs portfolio. I am passionate about building lasting relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities. I hope to build the Cultural Competency and bring everyone along for the journey making this a truly shared experience.

I enjoy working for such a passionate organisation that shares my own personal values and beliefs, of a more environmentally sustainable future.

Whether it’s tackling tough challenges or diving into new projects, count me in! I have a love for all things ag and am driven by a deep-seated passion to empower landholders with the tools for success.

Listening to peoples’ life stories and experiences just fascinates me, and I’m a big believer in working with local people to tackle our environmental challenges – it’s the best way to build a sustainable future.

I love working for FBA and being a part of a team that is passionate about the environment in our beautiful region. My biggest motivation for succeeding in my role is my children. It is crucial that we are focusing on ensuring a sustainable future for the next generations. It is the time now, more than ever, to ‘be the change we wish to see in the world’.

Working each day with a team of passionate people to safeguard our region’s special places and unique species is a dream come true!

Central QLD is the place I’ve lived longest and I love our slice of paradise. Learning and passing knowledge onto others, and working in agriculture are my passions.

Engaging with our communities and hearing their stories inspires me daily. I am motivated by my colleagues’ enthusiasm and pride in their projects. Living rurally has deepened my appreciation for the unique opportunities and achievements of small communities. I am dedicated to improving the environment and sustainability of our regions by understanding and addressing the diverse needs across the Fitzroy Basin.

I’ve worked on my family’s, and my extended family’s properties for years and love hands on pasture management, rural operations and vegetation management. Giving back to the community gives me a real sense of satisfaction especially when it increases sustainability.

I come from a rural background and enjoy working for an organisation that believes in a sustainable future.  I enjoy helping people make a difference and look forward to contributing to that at FBA.

I am passionate about preserving the natural world to the best of my ability. I think with everything in life there exists a happy medium for all interested parties. Easy to say, difficult to practice, but well worth the effort.

I am passionate about conceiving, developing and conducting a diverse range of environmental investigations designed to improve environmental outcomes.

I am driven by a passion for environmental stewardship and personal growth. The strong women in my life, who continuously push and break down barriers, serve as a constant source of motivation. My work with FBA and landholders focuses on enhancing environmental outcomes and boosting regional profitability, aiming for a sustainable future. Committed to lifelong learning, I am dedicated to developing and refining my skill sets.

In a nutshell, I do maps and love providing GIS support to assist others with their work. I’ve been involved with things geospatial for more than 35 years and I’m still learning!

My passion is helping landholders manage natural resources sustainably while running a profitable business. Using my Business and Natural Resource Management background, I enjoy assisting land managers to achieve their goals while striving for a sustainable future in agriculture.

I believe education is the key to conservation. Having a keen interest in both agriculture and the environment, I love sharing my knowledge with people in our community to improve the profitability of their businesses while also making our region more sustainable and resilient for future generations.

I am proud to be a part of Fitzroy Basin Association because I believe in a sustainable future and every day FBA is one step closer to achieving that!

I have always had a love for all things outdoors. Whether it’s ocean, land, creeks or rivers you’ll find me out exploring the best of it. To use my skills to help create a sustainable future for our environment where we will be able to continue to enjoy natures beauties is a dream come true!

I love my family, horses and camping… almost as much as I love working with local groups and producers to achieve Sustainable Ag in our big and beautiful region (just don’t tell the family!).

The vast landscape of central Queensland is a significant contrast to the environment I grew up with in Europe. I enjoy exploring the Fitzroy region and am passionate about monitoring and improving regional waterways and ecosystems towards a more sustainable future.

Sustainability is all about systems thinking and pushing boundaries. That sounds like an oxymoron, but what it means for me in my work at FBA is to make interconnections between people and the environment, and to think big!

I come from more of business commercial background, but I’m thrilled to be diving into aquatic science, where I can contribute to building organisational capacity, resilience, and growth in new areas. With a great team and great partnerships, I strongly believe this can be achieved.

I thrive on visually communicating messages about healthy ecosystems, biodiversity protection and sustainable land management and knowing my work is helping make a difference.
