Hinchinbrook Campaign
This October marked the 30 year anniversary of protecting the Hinchinbrook Channel. Many regional conservation councils like NQCC as well as national groups will remember this campaign well. Dredging of the Port Hinchinbrook Channel continues to this day, threatening the habitat of Dugongs and other precious wildlife.Therefore, the next three stories from our NQCC 50 anniversary project focus on the campaign against Keith Williams' efforts to build a resort at Port Hinchinbrook.
Living with Climate Change in North Queensland
Over the past four months, NQCC sat with members of the community to talk about personal experiences with weather extremes in North Queensland. We learned a lot about the diversity of impacts, people's future worries, but also about our great potential to increase local resilience.
