I initiated, organised, and convened the 2001 Southern Queensland Biodiversity Recovery Conference, which asked: “How do we maximise the ability of Regional Vegetation Management Plans (RVMPs) process, the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality (NAPSWQ), Natural Heritage Trust Stage Two (NHT2) and other key processes and initiatives to deliver biodiversity conservation outcomes?”

I led the coordination of the Sustainable Management of the Helidon Hills project in 1998-99.
