Environment

Biosecurity

Biosecurity is defined as ‘protecting the economy, environment and community from the negative impacts of pests, weeds and diseases’. Weeds in particular pose a significant impact in our area and have the potential for even more devastating consequences if not properly managed.

European Wasps

Overgrown Vegetation

Property owners or occupiers are responsible to make sure that the vegetation on their property is appropriately maintained and does not become unsafe or unhealthy

QPRC Citizen Science

Find out about our partnership with the NatureMapr program, submit your reports of platypus and rakali sightings in our region.

Pollution

Our rangers can investigate and take action for littering, waste/rubbish dumping, pollution of air, land or water, noise pollution (or offensive noise).

Tree Management

Find out if you need approval to remove or prune trees on your property.

2025 World Wildlife Day Photo Competition

March 3 is World Wildlife Day and we’re celebrating our local wildlife and biodiversity with a photography competition
