Gatton Shire Biodiversity Strategy

Posted on Posted in Biodiversity Conservation, Local Government, Programs, Projects, and Initiatives Tagged with , ,

I prepared the Gatton Shire Biodiversity Strategy in 2000 as a component of the Natural Heritage Trust (NHT) funded Gatton Shire Vegetation Assessment and Conservation Project.

This comprehensive strategy drew on the recommendations of the National R&D Program on Rehabilitation, Management and Conservation of Remnant Vegetation to advance innovative win-win solutions to benefit both biodiversity and the landholders and community of Gatton Shire. It also built on the foundations of the land systems planning approach in the Lockyer Catchment, as discussed in the Land Use Planning Handbook for the Lockyer Catchment.

One of the outcomes of the strategy was the development of the Biodiversity Recovery Plan for Gatton and Laidley Shires, South-East Queensland 2003-2008.
