Sustainable
grazing on rehabilitated lands in the Bowen Basin – Stage 2
Extensive areas of improved pasture rehabilitation within the central
Queensland coalfields, could potentially support cattle grazing as a
post-mine landuse. This extension project continues grazing trials
established previously at Goonyella Riverside, Norwich Park and Blackwater
mines to assess the grazing capacity of pasture-based rehabilitation and
aims to develop guidelines for a sustainable grazing landuse. Using a
pasture productivity model, preliminary recommended stocking rates are being
compared with predicted sustainable stocking rates to help develop the
guidelines.
