Landholders

What can CHRRUP do for Landholders?

  • Provide Information for all natural resource management issues in everyday language
  • Field Officers give one-on-one help and visit you on-farm
  • Provide practical training and workshops on topics relevant to you and your neighbours eg. property management planning, farm software, grazing management, water quality monitoring, GIS & remote sensing etc.
  • Link landholders with a network of other farmers, agribusinesses, consultants and researchers to access relevant and useful information
  • Identify opportunities on your farm to apply for incentive programs
  • Help with filling out application forms for financial assistance under natural resource management programmes for on-farm work
  • Educate the community on the good job Central Highlands farmers and graziers are doing to manage our natural resources
  • Respond to natural resource management issues with the unified voice of the Central Highlands community

Financial Incentives for On-Farm Work

To support landholders to make voluntary changes on property, CHRRUP in partnership with the Fitzroy Basin Association, the Burdekin Dry Tropics NRM and through other Project Funds, is able to offer funding in line with the Central Highlands Natural Resource Management Plan. Some examples of previous funding include fencing of river banks, relocating watering points for stock, converting tillage equipment for minimum till operation, satellite maps for property management planning, and water monitoring equipment. For more information, contact your Catchment Field Officer.
