We are pleased to announce that, thanks to funding from the Queensland Government, we are running three free Urban Water Stewardship Framework workshops in 2025.
We are encouraging local government teams interested in participating to apply early.
NEWS & EVENTS
As the weather heats up, bushfire risk in Queensland’s temperamental landscape is top of mind for landowners living in fire-prone areas. The key to mitigating bushfire danger is not just in firefighting efforts but in the dedicated hands of local community members and organisations working together to manage the landscape.
On Saturday 16 November our Sustainable Agriculture Team Lead Vanessa Smolders and Principal Scientist Bruce Lord joined farmers and agricultural enthusiasts for two great events run by Boonah and District Landcare.
Last month, we also attended the MLA Carbon EDGE workshop in Toowoomba, where we met with 20 local landholders, property managers, and NRM staff.
Healthy Land & Water recently hosted 40+ business enthusiasts at a thought leadership forum that explored “Generative AI and regenerative nature: Can AI inform smarter sustainability and climate resilience and response."
Hosted by our Chief Science & Sustainability Officer, Andrew O’Neill, we were joined by thought leaders and industry experts to discuss if AI can deliver the missing piece in informing climate resilience preparedness and response and fast-tracking sustainability.
The Moreton Bay region is the apple of South East Queensland’s eye but the 294 km of coastline is under threat from the impacts of erosion and sediment.
A recent segment on ABC highlighted the significant impact of urban runoff from construction sites upstream in Brisbane on the Bay, as well as the effects of frequent flooding events on the delicate ecosystem of Moreton Bay.
Our Chief Science & Sustainability Officer, Dr Andrew O’Neill spoke with the ABC and shared how Healthy Land & Water’s programs are helping address these challenges and supporting ongoing compliance efforts to protect this important waterway.
Australia’s Regional NRM organisations were on display at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 29) in Baku, Azerbaijan this month.
Healthy Land & Water featured in two great videos produced by NRM Regions Australia and funded by the Australia Government.
The videos highlight the crucial role regional NRM organisations play in understanding climate change impacts to inform investment; addressing climate change impacts and biodiversity loss through integrated solutions; and building climate resilience and reducing risk from extreme events.
These videos highlight the efforts of NRM organisations, including Healthy Land & Water in addressing climate change impacts through innovative programs such as waterway monitoring and the ENVestor nature repair investment program. They also showcase how we’re working with First Nations Peoples and Traditional Owners to build resilience to climate change.
