Consultation on the DRAFT Stock Route Management Plan 2024-29

Maranoa Regional Council’s DRAFT Stock Route Management Plan 2024-29 is open for public consultation. The public is invited to make written submissions about the Draft Plan.

The Council is required to establish a stock route management plan for the management of the stock route network in the Maranoa area. The stock route network is governed by the Stock Route Management Act 2002 (the Act) and Stock Route Regulation 2023.

The stock route network is a system of roads and reserves totalling approximately 3,912 kilometres in the Maranoa Region, designated primarily for the purpose of travelling stock. The Maranoa Region has one of the largest and most active stock route networks in Queensland. In addition to stock grazing, the stock route network is valued for its environmental and cultural values, recreational activities, and tourism.

The Maranoa Regional Council Stock Route Management Plan 2024-29 addresses the management and use of the network in accordance with the Act and clearly identifies Council’s approach to compliance and enforcement on the stock route network so that its values are maintained.

Council welcomes public and stakeholder feedback at this time via emailing land.management@maranoa.qld.gov.au.

If you would like to have your say, please complete this Stakeholder Consultation form or complete online. 

Feedback closes at 5pm on Tuesday, 9 July 2024.
