Corporate sector investment is vital to supporting our ability to continue to respond to the many environmental challenges facing South East Queensland.

SEQ Catchments undertakes fee for service activities on behalf of business and industry to complement our programs while helping them to meet their corporate social responsibilities.

Energex

Energex is funding revegetation and weed control of Lockyer Valley catchments, a three-year pilot project to restore habitat corridors and replant koala food trees in the Moreton Bay Regional Council area, as well as a propagation project for the Richmond Birdwing Vine, essential to the life cycle of the Richmond Birdwing Butterfly, South East Queensland’s largest butterfly.

PFSQ

PFSQ is a fully fledged ‘Not for Profit’ organisation with a broad range of private forestry (native forest and plantation) activities. SEQ Catchments in conjuction with Private Forestry Service Queensland has conducted workshops and field days to provide information about Vegetation Managment Legislation, improving forest health, increasing gound cover, marketing information and product identification. This capacity bulding program has seen over 700 land managers involved since 2006.

Powerlink

SEQ Catchments have been working with Powerlinks’ Biodiversity Investment Pilot Project, which is a voluntary program aimed to counterbalance potential biodiversity losses. The Coordinated Fire Management Plan Project is a jointly funded project by SEQ Catchments, Powerlink and local landholders which was established to produce and implement a Coordinated Fire Management Plan for properties along a transmission line easement in the Laidley/Grandchester area.

Powerlink Greenworks

Since late 2009, SEQ Catchments has been implementing five Powerlink Greenworks projects to help conserve endangered Swamp Tea-tree Forests, reduce salinity in the Woolshed Creek area, control erosion at Mt Binga Road Gully, enhance biodiversity values in the Emu Creek, Ravensboure and Crow’s Nest Districts and rehabilitate Cooyar Creek.

SEQ Water

Since late 2009 Seqwater and SEQ Catchments have worked on the joint planning and implementation of on-ground activities; worked together with other organisations to protect or improve the biodiversity, water quality and soil of the catchments; and shared scientific research outcomes and decision support tools. Water quality monitoring and implementing a regional event monitoring program have also been a key focus.
