River Health Forum, Dalby, Queensland.
Summary Report. June 2001.

CRC for Freshwater Ecology

OVERVIEW
The CRC for Freshwater Ecology facilitated a community forum in Dalby, Queensland to discuss river health with a focus on the Condamine-Balonne catchment. One hundred and ten people attended the forum, including farmers, representatives of irrigation organisations, council members, government-employed natural resource managers, thirteen speakers, environmentalists and others. The forum was organised in response to strong community and government interest in the health and future management of the Condamine-Balonne River system. The purpose of the forum was to present the latest scientific insights into how rivers work and how to assess river health in inland rivers, with particular examples drawn from the Condamine- Balonne. It is anticipated that the forum will inform the on-going debate between community stakeholder groups and government about water management in the Condamine-Balonne river valley.
The information in this publication was produced by the CRCFE Knowledge Exchange Program to provide a brief summary of the key points made by speakers at the Dalby River Health Forum
and the results of a survey of the audience.
