A not for profit organisation supported by:

 

 

 

Over the years Taroom Shire Landcare has participated in a number of research projects and gathered information on a number of natural resource management issues.  This general information has been collated and summarised throughout this site.  Please contact the office if you would like further information, or a copy of the full reports.

What we are all about

the Taroom Shire Landcare Group operates on the basis that every rate payer should be able to access our services.  Our monthly newsletter has a distribution of around 1200 households in the Taroom Shire, with a number of copies distributed over an expanding email network.  As a result we service a relatively large area (18650 square kilometers) and it's not unusual for our staff to travel 2-3 hours to visit members.  The Shire falls within the Southern Queensland government departmental region and the Rockhampton based Fitzroy River Basin.

The committee consists of 8 representatives from Taroom and Wandoan (Division 1 & 2 respectively) districts.  A council representative from each division and a representative from a relevant Government department make up the total of 11 or 12 that sit on our committee.  The first committee was elected in 1989 has has met monthly since then to deliver a range of service to members, including:

  • Property Management Planning
  • Sub-catchment Action Group activities
  • parthenium and other weed control activities
  • Sustainability of Production Systems
  • Soils and water monitoring
  • Tree planting and planning

Many of these projects have been implemented with the support of other community, government and industry organisations.  (see our Links page)
