Our Public Submissions on environmental matters affecting the Whitsundays are a demanding part of our operations. Many hours are put into this work, which we believe will help protect our region from the short-sightedness of some of its policymakers. Research is needed and sometimes evidence. Opinions are keenly sought from the public and stakeholders.
We also provide a framework for people to make their own submissions on a variety of issues concerning us in the Whitsundays. You can access them via our Projects page, social media and in our newsletter Treetops.
