Queensland Regional NRM Groups Collective is a Company Limited by Guarantee, which has as its member base the 14 regional natural resource management bodies in Queensland. The Board consists of the Chairs of 13 of the regional bodies, with the Torres Strait Regional Authority an associate member.

The Collective was formed in 2002 to improve the state-wide delivery of regional NRM outcomes in partnership with industry, community and government, and to act as a peak body for natural resource management in Queensland by providing a single, strong voice for its members. The Collective is funded by those members – the 14 regional natural resource management bodies in Queensland, along with the Queensland Department of Environment and Resource Management and the Australian Government through Caring for Our Country.

The Collective supports those regional organisations to deliver sustainability outcomes at the regional level by coordinating statewide programs, providing mentoring and leadership, lobbying for improved investment in natural resource management, and identifying areas for training and improvement. The Collective provides a cohesive and collaborative forum to: collaborate, support, advocate for and add value to regional groups to affect positive environmental and social changes at the regional level.

The Regional Groups Collective works collaboratively with other peak bodies with an interest in natural resource management, regional sustainability and conservation and is often called upon to provide comment on government policy and consultation processes.
