Who we are
FBA combines experience and expertise to deliver practical solutions where they matter most. From productive farms and healthy waterways to thriving landscapes and native species, we work side-by-side with locals to achieve real-world results that support both people and nature.
Our story
A deep-rooted connection to land, waterways and community
FBA's reputation is built on results. For more than 20 years, we’ve delivered high-quality services that create lasting impact, while continually innovating for both our environment and our communities.
We’re not just project deliverers; we’re part of the community. By working alongside land managers, community groups, and industry, we help drive long-term initiatives that shape the future of our landscapes and waterways.
From restoring eroded country to protecting threatened species, our work tackles practical problems head-on. Along the way, we share knowledge, learn from those we partner with, and adapt to new challenges.
Real change happens through collaboration. Over two decades, this approach has helped us build strong, trusted relationships with our stakeholders, so together, we can make a lasting difference.
Where we work
Proudly central Queensland
With more than 40 staff based in Gladstone, Emerald, Rockhampton and Theodore, we’re part of the communities we serve. Our work spans the Fitzroy region, stretching along the coast north to Nebo, west past Emerald, and south to Wandoan.
Who we collaborate with
Strong relationships are at the heart of our success. From land managers and First Nations groups to industry, educators, and policy makers, we value the collaborations that help us protect natural assets and build lasting resilience.
Partnership for us is a two-way exchange. We share our expertise and learn from others, enabling us to provide clear, practical guidance on legislation, emerging technologies, and evolving best practices. Together, we turn ideas into real and lasting results.
Meet the team
Our team combines local insight with practical know-how and a deep commitment to protecting central Queensland’s natural assets.
