A Voice for Water
South East Queensland Healthy Waterways Partnership, QLD

The South East Queensland Healthy Waterways Partnership (the Partnership) is a whole-of-government, whole-of-community collaboration of over 113 organisations which focuses on understanding, planning and managing the use of the waterways and catchments of South East Queensland.

‘In the field of waterway and catchment ecosystem health, there is no other organisation in Australia to match the scale, complexity, durability, collaborative approach and success of the science-driven South East Queensland Healthy Waterways Partnership,’ commented Prof. Paul Greenfield, Vice Chancellor of The University of Queensland and Chair of the Partnership’s Scientific Expert Panel.
