About us
The South East Queensland Healthy Waterways Partnership (the Partnership) is a collaboration between the Queensland Government, local governments, industries, research organisations and community groups.
The Partners work together to improve how we manage our catchments and the health of the waterways in South East Queensland.
Many of the Partners were responsible for developing and implementing the South East Queensland Regional Water Quality Management Strategy (SEQRWQMS 2001) and have recently developed the South East Queensland Healthy Waterways Strategy 2007-2012 (the Strategy).
The philosophy underlying the Partnership's approach rests on two foundations:
- A commitment to working in a partnership where all partners can be heard, contribute to decision-making and implement agreed actions.
- Ensuring our strategies for managing waterways are based on sound science, rigorous monitoring and adaptive learning.
The work of the Partnership is facilitated through the South East Queensland Healthy Waterways Partnership Office.
The Partnership's Vision is that:
By 2026, our waterways and catchments will be healthy ecosystems supporting the livelihoods and lifestyles of people in South East Queensland, and will be managed through collaboration between community, government and industry.
