Southern Gulf NRM CEO Andrew Maclean took the opportunity to contribute ideas to implementation of the flood recovery program when the PM visited Cloncurry yesterday. It is encouraging to learn that the North Queensland Livestock Industry Recovery Agency is discussing support for natural resource management programs as an important part of recovering from the February floods and building resilience among producers in the Southern Gulf rangelands.

Last week Southern Gulf NRM Charles Curry and Pru Wharton travelled to Hughenden to attend the Flinders Shire Pest Management Roadshow. They were held in Torrens Creek, Prairie, Stamford and Hughenden. The Roadshow gave landholders in the Shire an opportunity to come together and discuss any Pest and Weed issues that they may have and what assistance and information is currently available to Local Government and Landholders.
Flinders Shire Rural Service team Robyn Young, Billy Paine and Linda Bell did a fantastic job organising the 3 day Roadshow.
The event was a collaboration between Flinders Shire Council and Southern Gulf NRM and was partially funded under The Department of Innovation and Science Building Better Regions.
