18.01.2022 The South East Queensland Fire and Biodiversity Consortium (SEQFBC) has expanded its program reach to cover the whole of Queensland. Through the strategic planning process, supported by the partners of SEQFBC and, Healthy Land and Water, the decision was made to change the name of SEQFBC to Queensland Fire and Biodiversity Consortium (QFBC). This statewide expansion reflects the increased demand from landholders and stakeholders to receive the high-quality products and serv...ices provided by the QFBC. Established in 1998, one of the oldest collaborative fire programs in Australia, the success and value of the QFBC is underscored by the collaborative, tenure blind approach to fire management. The QFBC, comprise of a network of land managers and stakeholders committed to improving fire and biodiversity management outcomes, supporting and distributing fire ecology research, facilitating partnerships between key stakeholders and building the capacity of land managers and private land owners to address issues of fire management and biodiversity in the SEQ region and across Queensland. According to Dr Samantha Lloyd, Manager of QFBC, the focus will remain with current partners, the majority of whom are based in South East Queensland (SEQ). We have a number of state-based partners and requests for our services and resources outside of SEQ continues to increase. This change will allow us to better support stakeholders across Queensland and assist in facilitating improved fire management knowledge and practices, landscape health, and resilient communities across Queensland. The prospect of engaging with the wider Queensland community will enrich our network and strengthen our support base, Lloyd said. The QFBC is a flagship program of Healthy Land and Water. Healthy Land and Water is an independent not-for-profit organisation and the regional delivery body for the Federal Governments’ National Regional Land Partnerships program. Healthy Land and Water works in partnership with Traditional Owners, government, private industry, utilities and the community, to deliver innovative and science-based solutions to the challenges affecting the environment. One of the key strengths of the QFBC is the number and diversity of partners, who enabled the growth and reach across Queensland. We look forward to working with new stakeholders across Queensland and to help facilitate fire and land management outcomes for the environment and community, said Julie McLellan, CEO of Healthy Land and Water.

Thanks also to Mayor Paul ...Antonio for opening the evening and to all who came along.

16.01.2022 QFBC recognised in Queensland Resilient Australia Awards A novel Queensland approach to be better prepared for future fire seasons has been recognised in the 2020 Get Ready Queensland Resilient Australia Awards. The Queensland Fire and Biodiversity Consortium has been highly commended for the lead role it has played in coordinating and providing much needed information and support on bushfire preparedness and property planning.... The Queensland Fire and Biodiversity Consortium was recognised for its Fire Management Planning workshops in the community award section at the recent 2020 Get Ready Queensland Resilient Australia Awards. It received the high commendation for its highly tailored workshop series, which arms landholders with locally relevant information and supports them to work together with their local Rural Fire Brigade, local government and other landholders in their neighbourhood to develop practical fire management plans for their properties. With the devastation of last year’s fire season still vivid in people’s minds, it is particularly pleasing to see the strong demand for information to better prepare for future fire seasons, says Julie McLellan, CEO of Healthy Land and Water - the natural resource management group for South East Queensland and home to the Queensland Fire and Biodiversity Consortium. The strength of the workshops is that they are interactive, collaborative, and held locally, says Ms McLellan.
