Wide Bay-Burnett Catchments

Aquatic Conservation Assessments (ACAs) for freshwater wetlands within the Wide Bay-Burnett area were first completed in 2010. These assessments were subsequently updated in 2024 as part of the Wide Bay-Burnett Great Barrier Reef Connecting Catchments (v2.1) review and update project. Please note that riverine and non-riverine wetlands on K’gari were not reviewed as part of the 2024 update. For K’gari wetlands, please refer to the Fraser Island catchment results in the original Wide Bay-Burnett Catchments (v1.1) assessments.

Find out more about accessing the data and reports on the get mapping help page.

The riverine and non-riverine data and reporting (information on specific environmental values, by location) may be accessed through WetlandMaps.

Information on specific environmental values, by location, is also available via Environmental reports online.
