The Mackay and Whitsundays region is located in the east of Queensland (including the Whitsunday Islands). Reef Catchments are the Natural Resource Management (NRM) group for the Mackay Whitsunday Isaac region, and they facilitate change which aims to create long-term solutions that sustain, protect and improve the region’s natural resources and environment.

Engaging with the local community is one of the top priorities for Reef Catchments. It is through such engagement that Reef Catchments are able to focus efforts where they have the most influence, from farmers to school children, urban and rural. Reef Catchments staff all live locally and many have spent their entire lives in the region, being from multi-generational local families. 

Reef Catchments facilitate change and work for long-term solutions to sustain, protect, and improve our region’s natural resources and environment, both now and into the future. Click here to view their regional priorities.
