The Threatened Species fact sheet series has been produced by Council to raise awareness amongst residents and visitors about threatened plant species occurring in the South Burnett Region.
These plants are listed as critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable or near threatened under either the Queensland Nature Conservation Act 1992 or the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Commonwealth).
The locations of these plants within the South Burnett road network and Council managed reserves have been mapped and an ecological report has been developed for each species. This will allow Council to better manage and protect these plants from the risk of extinction, through measures such as control of environmental and declared weeds, better fire management and restoration works in the priority areas containing these plants.
