Stewardship Report: SEQ
Our region
New stewardship report for region in 2025
Coming in 2025
We are working on a new product to be released in mid-2025: a Stewardship Report for South East Queensland.
This report will be released every two years. Our Report Card will also be released every two years, so these two key reports for the region will be delivered in alternate years.
The new report is being developed for two primary reasons:
- To celebrate success by showcasing, celebrating, inspiring and leveraging stewardship success across the region.
- To learn from stewardship using evidence and support for continued improvement.
This is a big undertaking, so to get it right, we are starting out small and will build it out over time. We are on track to release our first Stewardship Report in mid 2025. It will then continue to evolve and improve over time.

Massive region-wide partnerships approach
The South East Queensland Stewardship Report is proudly funded and supported by the Queensland Government
This project has only been made possible by a collaboration of forward-thinking organisations.
Our work in protecting and improving the environment spans the many connected things making up a healthy region's ecosystem.
Healthy Land
The condition, area and extent of arable and grazing lands are important for the supply of food, fi bre and other materials to support the society and economy of the region.
Local landscapes
The quality of life enjoyed by people in the region is supported by access to, and connection with, the unique landscapes of the region. These regional landscapes help to defi ne the region’s character and people’s sense of belonging.
Sustainable urban design
Creating relationships between the natural environment, urban form and structure, economic and institutional processes, and social livelihood. Includes a sought erosion and sediment control program.
Healthy Water
Water resources and riparian areas provide ecosystem services and clean water for human consumption, environmental flows, and recreation, agricultural and industrial use.
Coastal & marine
People of the region are privileged to live near one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. The natural resources of coastal areas and marine waters are vital to our way of life and are the basis for a valuable international and domestic tourism industry along with commercial and recreational fishing.
Air & atmosphere
Atmosphere, air and climate are natural resources that play a key role in the health of the natural system. Factors such as continued population growth, the number of households and an increasing reliance on motor vehicles pose a threat to future air quality. Maintaining and enhancing the region’s air quality is a key element when considering future land-use options and transport modifications.
Nature conservation
The region has one of the richest diversities of animal and plant species in Australia distributed across a wide range of vegetation types and environments. The provision of all ecosystem services relies on supporting these habitats.
Community
Private landholders manage the majority of the region. A priority is to enhance and maintain the capacity and ability of the community to engage in planning, implementation and monitoring of local actions to achieve regional targets.
First Nations
Recognition of traditional owners as natural resource managers is one of the guiding principles of the SEQ NRM Plan. Traditional owner knowledge and values maintained the region for millennia. A key activity will be to achieve active involvement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in community planning and decision making.
We are protecting one of Australia's most desirable & fastest growing regions.
Supporting the lifestyles, happiness, and well-being of our community
Ensuring the priorities for the region are moving with and adapting to the changing environments and supporting communities in the best way possible
