Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning Jeff Seeney<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

May 14, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

The State Government will act to help drought-stricken graziers by temporarily opening up selected properties and National Park land with previous grazing history for emergency agistment.<\/p>\n

Acting Premier Jeff Seeney said the worsening drought crisis meant immediate action was needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the dire animal welfare situation facing our graziers worsens, the Newman Government is providing a lifeline by allowing access for cattle to suitable state land,\u201d Mr Seeney said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a part of a range of drought-relieving measures the Newman Government will put together over the coming weeks and months, as we do everything possible to help those affected.\u201d<\/p>\n

National Parks Minister Steve Dickson said the proposed changes would see emergency hardship grazing authorities issued over specific areas which had been selected on the basis of their previous grazing history and their proximity to suffering properties.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe won\u2019t stand by and watch while graziers are forced to destroy their own stock when we have land and feed available,\u201d Mr Dickson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cQueensland\u2019s graziers are the backbone of the nation\u2019s cattle industry and we are determined to protect their livelihoods as we work through this crisis together.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese arrangements are limited to only a select number of properties and National Park land, will only be available for graziers suffering from drought or wildfire and will only stay in place for a limited time to assist with the current crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cImportantly, the existence of buffel grass on this land, a foreign species, means carefully managed grazing will reduce fuel loads and also lessen impacts on fire sensitive species.\u201d<\/p>\n

The proposed amendment to the Nature Conservation Act 1992 will see eight properties purchased in conjunction with the Federal Government under the National Reserve System re-opened in the short-term. The State Government will write to the Commonwealth seeking its support for the action.<\/p>\n

Additionally, five areas currently declared as National Park but with previous grazing history \u2013 Moorrinya, Forest Den, Blackbraes, Nairana and Mazeppa \u2013 will offer temporary emergency agistment for graziers until the end of 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cAllowing graziers access to State-owned land will go some way to alleviating their current catastrophic situation,\u201d Mr Dickson said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
