Did you know that Burdekin Shire Council is one of 19 Reef Guardian Councils?
The Reef Guardian Council program is a partnership between the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority and local governments that aims to foster a culture of shared responsibility for the reef. The program showcases the achievements and initiatives of councils and their communities in protecting and enhancing the reef.
As a Reef Guardian Council, Council actively takes part in efforts to reduce the impact of human activities on the Great Barrier Reef. Council's Reef Action Plan outlines a range of strategies and initiatives designed to promote sustainability, protect water quality, and conserve the ecosystems of the reef.
Council collaborates with Tangora Blue for reef clean-ups and have augmented renewable energy production through the installation of 30Kw and 100Kw solar systems. Annually, Council provides a comprehensive report detailing our actions and showcasing progress.
Council is committed to working together today for a healthier Reef tomorrow. To download a copy of Council’s Reef Guardian Action Plan, visit Council’s website at burdekin.qld.gov.au.
