Our Shared Vision

Sheep roam near solar panels while bushland remains undisturbed

Conservation organisations in Central, North and Far North Queensland have a shared vision for Queensland's clean energy future. We want a nature positive renewable energy industry that increases biodiversity in Queensland, and empowers First Nations people and regional communities while providing affordable and reliable clean energy.

We know that Queensland’s energy transformation is a once in a generation chance to create a better system that delivers for people and nature.

A large, sombre group stand in the spot of two removed fig trees

Townsville's urban forest is an invaluable asset to the city. Our trees and other vegetation provide shade, shelter and habitat, prevent erosion, mitigate the impacts of flooding and store carbon. They are arguably our best weapon for adapting to climate change and preventing biodiversity loss.

Paperbark October 2023

There have certainly been some challenging times this month. The referendum saw a powerful build up of positive momentum, but we see now just how much work is left to do towards First Nations justice - particularly here in North Queensland. Rejection of an Indigenous Voice to Parliament has made us even more determined to listen, learn and be guided by some of the oldest living cultures in the world. From the feedback we've received from so many of you, we know this determination is shared.
