Project summary

The Ivanhoe Timber Retention Project is a 5 year, $693k collaboration between the Queensland Government and GreenCollar. The Project aims to deliver environmental outcomes including improved water quality run-off, and extent and condition of threatened species habitat whilst diversifying on-farm income and extending socio-economic benefits to the community, through change in property management practices.

Ivanhoe Station covers 2,892ha of prime agricultural country in the South Burnett. With above average rainfall, the landscape lends itself to diverse agricultural, silviculture and horticulture productivity. The owners previously relied on clearing vegetation in a regular cycle to make way for cattle grazing and timber harvesting. By retaining and supporting vegetation regrowth, instead of clearing it, the project will produce multiple co-benefits for the environment and the local economy.
