High risk areas giving you the blues? Confused about SMPs? Think there is a better way to manage threatened species? Come along to this unique opportunity to hear about the Nature Conservation Act framework and put forward your ideas for improvement.

The Nature Conservation Act is Queensland’s principal piece of conservation legislation and has been operating for over 24 years. Although there has been some tinkering around the edges, notably to the changes to protected plants in 2013, the Act remains much the same as it was when enacted in 1992. Reform has been on the agenda for some time, but this seminar is an opportunity to put forward a wish list of changes that practitioners, local government officers, project managers and others would like to see in future amendments.

Some particular areas of concern include:

  • The operation of the new protected plants framework and survey guidelines;
  • How high risk areas are mapped and updated with new records;
  • Management of threatened species and their habitat;
  • Species management programs;
  • Licensing, permits and approvals.

This forum explores:

  • The current regimes for protection and management of wildlife under the NC Act.
  • Opportunities for improvement or efficiencies within the established frameworks.
  • An example from other jurisdictions.
  • Developing a wish list for the NC Act.

Our speakers bring a wealth of practical experience to these topics:

  • Lindsay Delzoppo, General Manager - Operations, Environment & Natural Resource Regulation, Department of Environment and Heritage Protection
  • David Francis, Principal Environmental Scientist, Cardno Chenoweth
  • Aaron Organ, Director / Principal Ecologist, Ecology and Heritage Partners
