Members,

Having completed 45 “audits” in the Burdekin over the last few months the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection advises it will be expanding the number of properties it will be visiting in the New Year. It has also advised that it will be re-visiting a number of the properties where it had requested improvements in record keeping and farm practices to see how growers are progressing with the issues that EHP had raised with them.

If you were one of the properties in question I would encourage you to look to addressing these matters and if we can be of assistance please contact us.
