The Ecosystem Health Monitoring Program (EHMP) proudly marks another year of successful data collection, extending its history of over 23 years of environmental monitoring. Let's take a look at some of the highlights of our signature program!
Our EHMP's social monitoring assesses waterway management progress in alignment with community wellbeing goals. Partnering with the University of Queensland, we’ve been refining the framework in two phases: consultation to shape recommendations and a technical assessment. Initial interviews involved 32 stakeholders, exploring challenges, program experiences, impact, strengths, weaknesses, and future needs.
Farmers in South East Queensland are set to benefit from a brand new Drought Node. The new node is based in Kilcoy and will support producers and their communities across SEQ in growing resilience to manage climate variability through innovation, collaboration, and building capacity and capability.
