11.01.2022 MARANOA AND BALONNE CLUSTER FENCE CLOSES THE GAP - Barrier Fence to the Border Cluster Fence complete Maranoa Regional Council and Balonne Shire Council, in partnership with Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) and landholders have successfully completed the ‘Barrier Fence to the Border’ Collaborative Area Management Project. The project aimed to fund the construction of exclusion fencing that would connect previously erected cluster fences (funded through DAF and la...ndholders) to create a connection of fences which would extend from the Wild Dog Barrier Fence in the north of the Maranoa local government area to the Queensland border, providing further protection from predator animals on small stock. At the completion of Round 1 of the Queensland Feral Pest Initiative (QFPI), councils noticed how little additional fencing was required to construct an unbroken line of cluster fences from the Wild Dog Barrier Fence to the Queensland border. Discussions with Balonne Shire Council revealed that they shared this vision, and a joint application for funding was submitted to DAF under the QFPI Program.
