Southern Gulf NRM, in collaboration with a consortium of leading organisations, is launching an innovative project aimed at improving land condition, enhancing productivity, building climate resilience, and increasing biodiversity across Northwest Queensland.
With funding from the Australian Government through the Climate-Smart Agriculture Program under the Natural Heritage Trust, this project will cover 18 grazing properties across 90,000 hectares in the Southern Gulf and Gulf Savannah regions. It focuses on implementing sustainable land management practices and integrating advanced technologies to monitor key indicators, such as land condition, soil carbon, and biodiversity.
The project is being delivered in partnership with:
Participating properties will serve as demonstration sites, showcasing the positive impacts of adopting sustainable practices and using advanced monitoring technologies. These sites will help support the wider adoption of sustainable land management across the industry and increase land managers’ understanding of carbon and biodiversity markets. By overcoming barriers to property-scale sustainability monitoring, this project is paving the way for long-term industry transformation, ultimately promoting sustainable, climate-resilient practices in the region.
