New approach to managing cane farm reef run-off
Admin Keep Queensland Beautiful - Tuesday, November 27, 2012
The Queensland Government says it has signed an agreement with the sugar industry to manage chemical use and run-off into the Great Barrier Reef.
Queensland Environment Minister Andrew Powell says the best practice approach will reduce regulation and paperwork and move towards self-management.
He says legislation brought in by the previous state government could be changed if the new approach is successful.
