HAVE YOUY SAY on the future of environmental regul

HAVE YOUY SAY on the future of environmental regulation in Queensland 📣🌳🐨

Consultation is underway about the possible establishment of an independent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for Queensland. The consultation seeks to understand the views and needs of the community and stakeholders about the future of environmental regulation in Queensland.

Queensland is the only state in Australia without an external independent EPA.

Wildlife Queensland would welcome an independent EPA, and we have seized the opportunity to undertake the survey and make comment.

* An independent EPA must be a statutory body and be at arm’s length from government, free from any political interference.

* The EPA must ensure objectivity and maintain and enforce standards. Clear objectives, functions, governance and decision-making principles must be defined.

* The EPA must be provided with a full set of options in the statutory toolkit to facilitate enforcement and compliance. Adequate penalties for infringements and offences must be enshrined in legislation.

* The establishment of an independent EPA should in no way negate third party rights to instigate civil proceedings or seek court orders to remedy breaches of Acts and regulations.

Wildlife Queensland urges you to Have Your Say and complete the 5-minute survey. The consultation period closes on Sunday 6 February 2022.

If you go down to the river today, you're sure of a big surprise! 😮😍

Broken River, that is! But you’ll have to be very quiet … shhh. Located in beautiful Eungella National Park, about a one-hour drive from Mackay, Broken River is one of the best locations in Queensland to see platypuses in the wild.

Have Your Say and make 2022 even more plastic-free

Have Your Say and make 2022 even more plastic-free!♻️

In September last year, Queensland banned plastic straws, cutlery, plates and bowls and polystyrene containers.

In 2022, Wildlife Queensland and the @boomerangalliance want to see other problem plastic items like coffee cups, thick plastic bags and other problem plastics also removed.

Please help us achieve this by having your say and completing the Single Use Plastics survey by Friday 28 Jan 2022.

The 2021 Regional Wellbeing Survey is now open! ✍🏽

Do you live in a remote or rural region? If so, we urge you to have your say on coping with life beyond Australia’s major cities by completing the 2021 Regional Wellbeing Survey. Your voice could help shape policies that help regional Australians remain engaged with the preservation of wildlife and wild places, both by showing how valuable time in nature is for our wellbeing and how valued our natural environments are to regional Australians.

Participants who complete the survey before 11.59 pm on Friday 14 January will also go into a grand prize draw to win one of 18 prizes worth a total of $8000.

VALE SUZIE SMITH 1952–2021 ❤

Suzie Smith, co-founder and long-time office-bearer of Wildlife Queensland's Cassowary Coast - Hinchinbrook Branch, died peacefully in Tully hospital on 27 December after a long struggle with cancer – and so we lost one of the north’s truest, most abiding champions of our natural and cultural heritage.

Volunteers needed for fauna surveys in the Scenic

Volunteers needed for fauna surveys in the Scenic Rim 👀📋

Wildlife Queensland’s Scenic Rim branch is looking for volunteers to help monitor squirrel gliders, koalas and other fauna species in defined sites in the Scenic Rim. The surveys are part of an ongoing project to connect Scenic Rim habitats through wildlife corridors to help native wildlife survive and thrive, and will help determine the effectiveness of the wildlife corridors as they grow.

Register your interest via the link in our bio☝

Further information about the fauna surveys can be found here 👉 https://scenicrim.wildlife.org.au/projects/wildlife-corridors-for-the-scenic-rim/wildlife-corridor-plans/animals-survey-for-corridors/
