Innovative Agriculture Case Study
Project Snapshot - Trialing Remote Livestock Management Systems for grazing enterprises in the Fitzroy
The Fitzroy Basin contributes an estimated 1.5 million tonnes of extra sediment to the Great Barrier Reef lagoon as a result of human and industry activities. The aim of the project was to enhance productivity while reducing soil loss, sediment and particulate nutrient delivery to the Great Barrier Reef through the use of innovative technologies.

Case study – one-on-one property visit leaves a large legacy
Offmore Farm Case Study

Rock chute case study
Raglan Station Gully Erosion Project
Raglan Station is a 16,919 hectare property sharing frontage onto Raglan Creek, a tributary flowing directly into the Fitzroy Delta. A highly erosive gully was present on the property, measuring depths of up to 10 metres and widths of up to 20 metres in some areas. The entire length of the gullied area spanned 241 metres. Fitzroy Basin Association Inc. (FBA), with funding through the Australian Government’s Reef Trust II Program, undertook a three-pronged approach to addressing gully erosion in the latter months of 2018.

Customised FBA support for Cardbeign
Rebuilding and re-vegetating damaged creeks in central Queensland
One site on the property was badly scoured with steep creek banks that were barren of woody vegetation that would normally assist to stabilise soil. This led to loss of diversity within the creek such as pools, rifles and steps. Additionally, cracking clay on the creek flats were in poor condition, indicated by the prevalence of weeds and wiregrasses. Due to lack of equity and a minimal budget, Cardbeign’s development has had to be carefully staged, utilising current infrastructure as much as possible.

Broadmeadows case study
Land rehabilitation through water spreading banks
Broadmeadows is a grazing property located 13kms east of Rockhampton owned and operated by the Lang family. The Nankin Wetlands lagoon covers a significant area of Broadmeadows, therefore keeping this area free from invasive weeds, sedimentary silt and salt scalding is of high importance.
