Creating a healthy, prosperous, liveable, sustainable South East Queensland
South East Queensland is one of Australia's most desirable and fastest growing regions |
Maintaining healthy landscapes and waterways is not just important for wildlife and ecosystems. A healthy environment also supports a vibrant economy, strong livelihoods, great lifestyles and the happiness and well-being of the community.
Our natural resources, like our land, soil, water, animals and plants are essential assets underpinning our economy, our way of life and our well-being.
Healthy Land and Water actively works to encourage people to examine and adapt their behaviours for the benefit of the natural world and for the people and places we love.
Healthy Land and Water is the natural resource management group for South East Queensland. It is one of 12 Natural Resource Management groups across Queensland. While it is one of the smallest in area, it is the largest in population, industry, and tourism. Covering 22,900 km², SEQ’s 12 local government areas provide various lifestyle options, diverse economies, and healthy natural environments.
Why maintaining healthy landscapes, waterways and communities is important for South East Queensland:
- Protecting and enhancing our wildlife and ecosystems
- Supporting the lifestyles, happiness, and well-being of our community
- Ensuring we remain a destination of choice for our visitors
- Underpinning jobs, livelihoods, and a vibrant economy

Reconciliation Action PlanThese are the accompanying words by Quandamooka woman, Belinda Close, for the artwork she has designed for our Healthy Land and Water Reconciliation Action Plan
Our story is to share, care and love our ancient, living, breathing culture and Country in this world. Protect our sacred lands, salty seas, healing waters, wildlife and everything that grows within. Nurture the waters, animals, plants and each other from the north, south, east and west. Come together to share and understand the knowledge and respect of Mother Earth and our Ancestors that have passed on. Elders and Ancestors that are still with us today, sharing their ways on Country. When you look into this story, you see Ancestor Spirits standing together, strong, in a circle, looking over us, sending their love, knowledge, strength and blessings. We work together on Country, crossing waters to share knowledge, lending a helping hand during bushfires – which you can see burning in the bottom left of the story. In the center, the belly of the story, begins new life, new beginnings, next generations. Fern life and plant life encourages new creek life and sprouts new creations. The purples of our mountains, gullies and hills burst with wild rainforest – forests and bushlands that can never be replaced as they are as ancient as the Dreamtime. Together, let’s maintain a clean, healthy, happy natural environment for all generations to come.
