Welcome to The Burnett Mary Regional Group

The Burnett Mary Regional Group (BMRG) is the peak body for natural resource management (NRM) for a region comprising the Burnett and Mary river catchments and the associated sub catchment areas of the Kolan, Elliott, Gregory, Baffle, Burrum and Isis rivers.

BMRG delivers practical solutions that protect and enhance our region's natural assets. We seek to build and maintain strong, strategic partnerships with government, industry and local communities and develop targeted programs that meet specific natural resource management needs.

What is Natural Resource Management (NRM)?

Natural resource management involves establishing priorities for investment in a set of coordinated actions that protect and enhance our valuable natural resources (freshwater, soils and biodiversity) and ensure a sustainable balance between resource use and resource conservation.
