The Mackay Whitsunday Water Quality Program aims to improve the quality of water flowing from the Pioneer and Plane Creek catchments.
The program is funded by the Partnership between the Australian Government’s Reef Trust and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation, which includes an investment of $201 million to address water quality improvement targets impacting the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.
Reef Catchments has been appointed to manage the $22.2 million Mackay Whitsunday Water Quality Program (MWWQP) as both regional program manager and partnership coordinator.
In recognition of the beginning of the 2022 crush season, Reef Catchments is launching a “Grower’s Photo Competition” to highlight the dedicated growers who contribute season after season to the thriving sugar industry. The team is calling all budding and professional photographers to submit their images for judging by our Reef Catchments board.
There will be four categories to choose from and the closing date is Friday, 19 August 2022.
1. Young Gen 9 Champion Award
(Prize from TimeZone Mackay)
2. Female Operators or Growers Champion Award
(Prize from Little Bit Country Mackay)
3. Veteran Growers Champion Award
(Prize from CRT Mt Ossa)
4. Harvest Sunsets Champion Award
(Prize from Mitre 10 Proserpine)
All entrants will be invited to the official prize giving, which is free of charge, to be hosted at the Shamrock Hotel in Mackay on the 27 August 2022 from 2pm - 5pm, where the 4 winning photographs will be displayed for guests to admire.
Entrants may submit more than one entry and T’s&C’s do apply. To complete your registration please like, share and hashtag the following to your social media accounts - #greatbarrierreeffoundation #mwwqp #2022sugar
