One of Australia's most extraordinary ocean environments is currently under review. We've partnered with Save Our Marine Life to ensure you can make a quick and easy submission before consultation closes at 4pm Wednesday 30 September!

Right now, we have a chance to strengthen Bioregional Planning to ensure critical minerals mining in Northwest Queensland doesn't cost the Earth.

The Queensland Government is currently consulting on a new Draft Provisional Land Use Plan (PLUP) for the Port Hinchinbrook Priority Development Area. This plan will shape how land and sea country around the Hinchinbrook Channel is used for years to come.

NQCC has lodged a detailed submission calling for much stronger environmental and cultural protections — because as it stands, the draft plan risks locking in the same problems that have caused decades of environmental damage in this sensitive area.

This is a critical moment, and your voice matters. Submissions are open now — and we’re asking our supporters to join us in speaking up.
