SEQ Healthy Waterways Strategy 2007 – 2012

An integrated set of Action Plans, the SEQ Healthy Waterways Strategy 2007 – 2012 is designed to maintain and improve the health of the waterways and catchments of South East Queensland. The Strategy aims to improve the health of our waterways by:

• achieving significant reductions in both urban and non-urban diffuse source pollution—diffuse source pollution comes from a variety of sources such as sediment from catchments
• achieving significant decreases in point source pollution—point source pollution originates from a single point such as waste water treatment plants
• protecting and conserving high ecological value waterways
• improving catchment health
• combating coastal algal blooms
• increasing the commitment and capacity of the general community
• improving management via better modelling and evaluation
• refining the Ecosystem Health Monitoring Program
