Healthy Country Managing the Land for healthy waterways - Community Service Announcement

Queensland Government funded project to restore waterways

The $8 million Healthy Country project is supporting communities, farmers and scientists to work together to improve water quality in South East Queenslands catchments and Moreton Bay.

An estimated average of more than 315,000 tonnes of sediment is discharged to Moreton Bay each year from various sources across South East Queensland.

The four-year Healthy Country project focuses on ways to reduce sediments and nutrients entering our waterways locally and in the Bay.

The focus is on three priority catchments, Logan and Bremer Rivers and Lockyer Creek, which have been shown to contribute the majority of sediment to Moreton Bay.
