If just 1 of these proposals were allowed to go ahead there would be drastic changes to the ecology and functioning of the River Delta and consequently Keppel Bay.

The Fitzroy River is the largest river catchment feeding the ecosystem of the Great Barrier Reef.

These proposed developments will result in huge impacts on the water and air quality with removal of habitat and consequently loss of species.












How will this affect you?   

If you live in Yeppoon, Emu Park, Zilzie, Cooroman, Cawarral, Coowonga, Keppel Sands, Raglan, Bajool or Rockhampton your family and lifestyle will be impacted.

Is the risk of losing our lifestyle, environmental and physical wellbeing worth the short term profit of some? You be the judge and get involved.

REMEMBER THIS IS YOUR BAY – YOUR DELTA – YOUR CHOICE!
