Australian Government

The Australian Government has identified 56 catchment regions covering all Australia, and supports community based NRM bodies in each to prepare and implement integrated resource management plans and regularly define and review priorities.

SEQ Catchments is the NRM body for South East Queensland, and plays a central role in promoting the value of local knowledge and participation in NRM planning, and securing appropriate funding support for on-ground works to deliver NRM targets.

Bureau of Meteorology

The Bureau of Meteorology is Australia's national weather, climate and water agency. SEQ Catchments coordinates community volunteers in the collection and reporting of water quality data to The Bureau under the 2008 Water Regulations.

Caring For Our Country

Caring For Our Country (CFOC) is the initiative under which the Australian Government funds environmental management of our natural resources. SEQ Catchments accesses competitive open call funding and Community Action Grants as prioritised by the CFOC Annual Business Plans. We also bid for baseline funding from CFOC to deliver priorities under the CFOC Annual Business Plans.

Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry

The Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry’s role is to develop and implement policies and programs that ensure Australia's agricultural, fisheries, food and forestry industries remain competitive, profitable and sustainable. SEQ Catchments works with the department on issues of sustainable agriculture with landholders.

Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities

The Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities is responsible for implementing the Australian Government's policies to protect our environment and heritage, and to promote a sustainable way of life. SEQ Catchments works with the department to protect and restore Endangered Ecological Communities and Ramsar protected wetland areas.
