Reef Guardian Council
As a Reef Guardian Council, we are playing our part to support the ongoing health of the Great Barrier Reef. We have endorsed an Action Plan which aims to improve environmental outcomes for the Reef by managing our natural resources and increasing our capacity as a community.
The Reef Guardian Action Plan is reviewed and updated annually.
Healthy Rivers to Reef Partnership
We are one of 31 member organisations from across the greater Mackay-Whitsunday-Isaac area which form the Healthy Rivers to Reef Partnership. The Partnership seeks to deliver a range of objectives which support healthy waterways. Find out more the program on the Health Rivers to Reef Partnership website.
Whitsundays Plan of Management
The Queensland Government and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMPA) have developed a Plan to manage tourist visitation on the reef and island environments. Find out more about the program on the Whitsundays Plan of Management page.
Local Marine Advisory Committees
The Whitsunday Local Marine Advisory Committee (WLMAC) and the Bowen Burdekin Local Marine Advisory Committee are community reference groups which meet regularly to discuss a range of marine and tourist related issues. The LMACs are coordinated by GBRMPA and WRC is represented on both committees.
