Industry and NRM Bodies work closely with communities, private business and government to deliver farm specific and whole of landscape projects in the Reef catchments. These have been successfully delivered across a range of NRM programmes including water quality, land condition, biodiversity, capacity building and grants and stewardship delivery.

The success of the Reef Programs over the past 10 years has come via Reef Alliance member projects supporting rural land managers to change practices and improve farming systems. This in turn generates improving water quality and business viability. The success is testament to Reef Alliance’s experience and capacity in delivering program outputs and outcomes that are of value to investors and land managers. Together, the Reef Alliance members share information, resources and ideas, and mix their respective skill sets to deliver behavioural change in land managers and communities.

The Reef Alliance often prepare and submit formal responses to Government policy and actively advocate on Reef related issues.

Growing a Great Barrier Reef

Reef Alliance partners are committed to a shared vision and with the announcement of Reef Trust III funding, 12 of the 14 Reef Alliance partners chose to work together to submit one collaborative bid. The Reef Trust III initiative supports cane farmers to move beyond industry best practice, reduce erosion loss from grazing lands and maintaining water quality improvement momentum in grains, dairy and horticulture.
