The Cambooya Landcare Group has recently been successful in the 2011-2012 round of Community Action Grants funded through the Federal Government’s Caring for Our Country initiative. The project aims to raise awareness and establish plans and guidelines to promote active conservation and extension of koala habitat in the region. For more information visit our Current Projects page.
Additional information has been added to our website in order to assist landholders in decision making processes relating to monitoring land condition and better management practices as a result of our Environmental Management Systems project. As well as outlining a number of current, nationally recognised EMSs, the Cambooya Landcare Publications page highlights various documents and resources, available through our landcare office, relating to environmental management and practices in the Cambooya region and surrounding areas.
The Cambooya Landcare office has had a recent upgrade with the installation of a solar power system. Following a successful grant through the Queensland Government, a system consisting of a 1.5kW inverter and 6 x 250W solar panels has been put in place. The solar panels harness energy from the sun, converting light energy into DC electricty and feeds it back into the grid. For more information on the advantages of installing a solar power system visit the Queensland Government Office of Clean Energy Homepage.
