Community natural resource management groups across Queensland can now apply for a slice of $100,000 on offer from the Bligh Government to help further protect our environment.
 
Minister for Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Stephen Robertson announced applications have opened for the 2010 Natural Resources Awareness Grants during the recent Landcare Conference in Longreach.
 
"Natural Resources Awareness Grants are offered to fund activities and projects which promote the importance of our natural resources in our lives, while encouraging more Queenslanders to become involved in their protection," Mr Robertson said.
"The Bligh Government's Toward Q2 strategy is creating a greener Queensland and these grants are important as they allow the groups out there on the ground to tackle important local issues."
 
"Grants of up to $5000 are available to groups such as Landcare, Bushcare, Coastcare and Waterwatch, and up to $10,000 will be considered for projects where there is a genuine collaboration between two or more organisations."

DataHub - Improving access to NRM information

Headline date: 
12/02/2009

Many people in natural resource management (NRM) have experienced the frustrations of not having access to the appropriate natural resource information they need for making informed decisions. A pilot for the new Datahub project will be a great step forward in resolving some of this frustration by addressing the drivers that influence availability and access to knowledge and information.

The pilot project will commence in mid February and run for approximately five months. It is a collaboration between the Regional NRM Groups Collective (RGC), Terrain NRM, Queensland Murray-Darling Committee (QMDC) and the Department of Natural Resources and Water’s (NRW) Catchment Programs, and will involve a number of additional regional NRM bodies as stakeholders.
