Q2 Coasts and Country
Over the last 150 years Queensland’s coasts and country have undergone extensive modification for urban infrastructure, agricultural production, tourism and mining. These modifications have led to significant changes to natural assets and as the population has increased there has been an increase in the use of natural resources.
To protect our natural environment and mitigate the effects of climate change, Queensland must constructively engage millions of people and hundreds of organisations in environmental and natural resource solutions.
Many Queenslanders have already experienced the effects of reduced natural resources through the recent droughts and individuals and communities mobilised to meet and overcome this challenge, making major adjustments to their water use behaviours in a very short timeframe.
The Queensland Government is investing in long term solutions to these environmental and natural resource threats and its Q2 Coasts and Country program is addressing areas such as biodiversity, wetlands, water quality, coastal risk, sustainable agriculture and weeds and pest management. This will support the sustainable management of natural resources and protection of significant natural assets.
We will be updating this website to reflect developments in the Q2 Coasts and Country program and provide further information over the coming months. So please do check this site regularly, to see new material.
