At twice the size of Tasmania with a land area of more than 156,000km2 the Fitzroy region boasts diverse landscapes, industries and communities and is home to more than 230,000 people. It is also home to some very special places including the southern Great Barrier Reef and other places away from the coast. In a region this size with so much to be done and so much at stake in our environment, recruiting the right people to develop, lead and implement projects is important.
