Stories of Stewardship in the

Mackay-Whitsunday-Isaac region

The Above and Beyond publication is a celebration of waterway projects and initiatives underway or completed in the Mackay-Whitsunday-Isaac region. These actions are undertaken by partnership organisations, individuals, local business and community organisations to improve our environment and contribute to healthy rivers and Reef.

So why a stewardship report?

In recognising that the Report Card demonstrates results and technical data, the Healthy Rivers to Reef Partnership identified that there was an opportunity to showcase the activities that aim to improve these scores.

In 2019, we launched the inaugural Stewardship Report with the mission of highlighting some of the great work and improved outcomes that are being achieved. These stories demonstrate the significant work that is being led by active members in the partnership and undertaken in our community.

What will you find in this edition?

The 2024 Stewardship Report reflects the enthusiasm and commitment of partners working to maintain and improve waterway health in our region. From investment, monitoring, on-ground action and everything in between, partners are working together and combining their resources, individual strengths and expertise to deliver effective stewardship outcomes. This year’s Stewardship Report not only aims to capture the breadth of projects being undertaken by a wide range of partners, but also features the people behind those projects – those that make the Partnership happen.

We hope you enjoy reading these stories, and learning more about the Healthy Rivers to Reef partners and their work.
