8 November 2022.
From 1 December 2022, Reef protection regulations will apply across the Wet Tropics, Burdekin, Mackay Whitsunday, Fitzroy and Burnett Mary regions for beef cattle grazing, sugarcane production and banana growing.
From this date, graziers in the Wet Tropics, Mackay Whitsunday and Burnett Mary; sugarcane producers in the Fitzroy and Burnett Mary; and banana growers in the Burdekin, Mackay Whitsunday, Fitzroy and Burnett Mary will join producers who are already regulated.
You can register now for online information sessions that will be held in mid-November for sugarcane and beef cattle grazing to help producers understand what they need to do to comply.
