Established in 1998, the South East Queensland Fire and Biodiversity Consortium (SEQFBC) is a network of land managers and stakeholders devoted to providing a coordinated response and best-practice recommendations for fire management, fire ecology and the conservation of biodiversity in the South East Queensland (SEQ) region through education, community engagement and applied research. Aims and Function:
Hosting Arrangements and Supporting OrganisationsFollowing an extensive process to seek a new host for the SEQFBC, a partnership was created with SEQ Catchments, the regional natural resource management body for SEQ. This partnership provides excellent opportunities for ongoing engagement with private landholders, public land managers and academic institutions in fire management and fire ecology research. Phase 4 of the SEQFBC is generously supported by Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich, Lockyer Valley, Logan, Moreton Bay, Redland, Scenic Rim, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba councils, the National Parks Association of Queensland, Powerlink, Queensland Fire and Rescue Service, The Department of Environment and Resource Management and SEQ Catchments. |
