Soil first: erosion management and rehydration for grazing country — Wandoan
2026-03-16 09:00 - 13:00 (Australia/Brisbane) | Goorewan, Gulugaba, 351 Cormacks Road, Gulugaba, Queensland, 4418, Australia

Learn what’s being tested, what’s showing promise, and what could work on your country, in your system, within your budget.
Hear from Glenn Landsberg
Glenn is a farmer, rehydration consultant and pilot focused on restoring landscape function in Australia’s rangelands. His aerial perspective helps him identify degraded areas and implement targeted earthworks that slow water movement, leading to improved soil health and promoting grass growth. By enhancing moisture retention, his approach helps to create more resilient and productive landscapes.
Event details
Soil first has been fully funding, including morning tea and lunch.
Plan to arrive at around 8:30am as the event will start at 9, with a 1pm finish.

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.

Darling Downs Regional drought resilience plan consultation — Stanthorpe
2026-03-17 09:00 - 12:30 (Australia/Brisbane) | Varias, Stanthorpe, 22 Caves Road, Stanthorpe, Queensland, 4380, Australia
Contribute to the design of projects addressing Regional Drought Resilience on the Darling Downs.
Now that the Regional Drought Resilience Plans have been formally approved by both the state and Australian Governments, we’re moving into the exciting next phase: shaping an Implementation Plan that turns broad ideas into practical, well-designed projects.
To help make this happen, we’re hosting a series of short, interactive roundtable discussions with local stakeholders, about the important steps and elements needed to most effectively implement these projects in the Darling Downs region.
It’s also a chance for participants to highlight the projects and priorities they believe will make the biggest difference in strengthening the region’s resilience for future droughts. While not every idea will immediately lead to funded activity, the feedback gathered will play a critical role in shaping projects that are realistic, impactful and ready for future investment opportunities.
The Plan is available online: https://rdrpqld.org.au/region/darling-downs-region/
