Submissions
As Queenslanders, we're proud of our spectacular natural environment - and we want to keep it that way! Sadly, Queensland's rich biodiversity is facing threats from many directions at once, and our climate is changing for the worse, due mainly to pollution from fossil fuels.
We regularly assess projects and legislation that may impact our natural environment, and make submissions to the official governing processes for developments and legislation. These are collected in the table below.
You can sort the table by date, type, or name, by clicking on the column headers.
