Representatives from the Healthy Land & Water’s Queensland Fire & Biodiversity Consortium, Toowoomba Regional Council and Rural Fire Service Queensland will share information about their roles and offer advice about planning for the approaching fire season.

What to expect from the session:

Delve into fire management planning.
Tap into local support and resources.
Take home a BIG MAP of your property.
Connect with neighbours and community members.
An opportunity to discuss bushfire matters in your community.

Morning tea and lunch will be provided.
For more information, contact Jaime from Healthy Land & Water’s Queensland Fire & Biodiversity Consortium on jaime.k@hlw.org.au.

With a spotlight on building diverse pastures and retaining moisture in the landscape, this complimentary field day offers landholders a practical opportunity to enhance soil health, grazing productivity, and ecosystem resilience.
You’ll hear from two of Queensland’s leading voices in grazing land management and landscape hydrology stewardship:

Andrew Zerner, Principal Advisor for Resource Consulting Services (RCS), will share insights into applying regenerative grazing principles that reduce inputs, boost profitability, and restore landscape function.
Stuart Andrews, Founder of Tarwyn Park Training and champion of Natural Sequence Farming, will demonstrate how rehydrating the land can drive long-term ecological and economic benefits—helping us better manage drought, fire, and flood.

GRDC Herbicide behaviour workshop — Toowoomba
2026-03-17 08:00 - 2026-03-18 13:00 (Australia/Brisbane) | Burke and Wills Hotel, Toowoomba, 554 Ruthven Street, Toowoomba, Queensland, 4350, Australia
Herbicide resistance is changing product use. In many situations, products and mixtures that previously worked are now less effective.
This workshop will focus on the biological pathways and environmental factors that influence herbicide performance, along with interactions that may occur when products are mixed and will be delivered by ICAN Senior Consultant Mark Congreve.
Participants will leave with a better understanding of the key factors dictating herbicide performance and what can be done in the paddock to ensure weed control is maximised. Knowing what weeds will be controlled from a herbicide application is the easy bit – it’s on the label. More challenging questions include:

Why do herbicides perform or fail in some situations? How do environmental factors influence this?
What can happen when we tank mix?
Critical comments on the label. Why are they important?
How do adjuvants and water conditioning agents work? What should be used, when and why?
How does resistance affect different herbicides? What strategies can be used as resistance emerges?
How do residual herbicides work and what influences their breakdown?

Workshop numbers will be capped to ensure effective participation. Workshop registrations will be accepted on a first-in basis and a ‘wait list’ will be established for workshops that sell out.
