SoE2020: Extent and rate of change of remnant native vegetation

<p>The loss of remnant native vegetation in Queensland has been monitored since 1997 and reached a peak during 1999&ndash;2000 at which point 0.4% of the state&rsquo;s remnant native vegetation was lost in 1 year.</p><p>Remnant vegetation clearing increased by 168% in Queensland between the 2011&ndash;2013 and the 2015&ndash;2017 reporting periods, increasing from approximately 81,000ha to approximately 217,000ha.</p><p>Of the 16 Broad Vegetation Groups statewide, 1 (comprising &lsquo;Other acacia dominated open forests, woodlands and shrublands&rsquo;) retains less than 60% of its pre-clearing extent as remnant native vegetation as at 2017.</p>

SoE2020: Condition of ecological processes in the Great Barrier Reef

<p>The deteriorating condition of many ecological processes has affected the integrity of the Reef&rsquo;s outstanding universal value. Ecological processes are expected to continue to decline due to climate change impacts and inshore land-based run-off.</p>

SoE2020: Extent and rate of change of riparian vegetation

<p>Between 2013 and 2017, woody vegetation has decreased in extent within the riparian zones of South East Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef catchments. Most of the decrease is due to land clearing. Maintaining vegetation in the area adjacent to waterways is important for reducing pollutant flow to waterways, stabilising the streambank, and providing habitat for biodiversity.</p>

SoE2020: Extent and rate of change in estuarine wetlands

<p>More than 96% of the pre-European settlement extent of estuarine wetlands in Queensland remained in 2017. Changes in the extent of estuarine wetlands in Queensland have been monitored since 2001. The highest rate of estuarine wetland loss was recorded during the 2001&ndash;2005 period (0.03%) mostly in the North East Coast drainage division.</p><p>Of the 2 broad estuarine wetland types &mdash; mangroves and salt marsh/salt flats &mdash; the greatest ongoing losses have occurred in salt marsh/salt flats in the North East Coast Drainage division.</p>

SoE2020: Number of litter items for different site types

<p>In 2018&ndash;19, the average number of litter items was higher in Queensland than Australia across a majority of site types, particularly at beaches, highways, recreational parks and shopping centres. The notable exceptions to this were both industrial and retail strips which were both lower than the comparative national average.</p>

SoE2020: Soil and land resources availability and capability

<p>The majority of the Queensland&rsquo;s land resource (71% or 1,234,099km<sup>2</sup>) is mainly suitable for grazing. Only 9% (or 157,696km<sup>2</sup>) is Class A land, suitable for intensive high-productivity agriculture. These data relate to a general assessment and it should be noted that agricultural production in any given year is affected by seasonal rainfall and water availability.</p>

SoE2020: Volume and load of sewage treatment plants

<p>The annual volume and load of nutrients released from coastal sewage treatment plants into waterways in Queensland has been collected since 2010. In general, we have observed that the loads of nutrients, particularly nitrogen, are correlated with the annual volume. However, loads of nutrients in some locations have reduced in recent years despite high annual volumes and were attributed to improved treatment in these locations.</p>

SoE2020: Great Barrier Reef World Heritage condition

<p>While the outstanding universal value of the Great Barrier Reef remains in good condition, the Outlook Report 2019 found the grade is good borderline with poor because the condition of the property has deteriorated to varying extents with respect to the 4 natural world heritage criteria. While the property remains whole and intact, ecosystem resilience is deteriorating, and the property&rsquo;s size is becoming less effective as a buffer against these disturbances.</p>

Since the initial Underground Water Impact Report in 2012, monthly associated water volumes have been provided by coal seam gas (CSG) tenure holders to OGIA every six months. Associated water data from larger conventional developments, such as Moonie, are also provided to OGIA. Historical associated water data from conventional developments has been synthesised from data submitted by tenure holders to the Department of Resources (DoR).

Following the six monthly submission of the data from tenure holders or DoR, OGIA undertakes quality control and assurace checks on the dataset. This export of data includes edits or updates to the dataset at the time of publication. This is undertaken every six months.

<p>In the most recent 2015&ndash;2017 period, the New England Tablelands has experienced the greatest patch density increase (13.4%) and greatest remnant core areas density loss (-2%). The Gulf Plains experienced the greatest increase in the frequency of edges (226), the Brigalow Belt the greatest increase in patches (316) and the Mulga Lands the greatest fragmentation of core areas into smaller core units (400). These examples demonstrate that fragmentation has many guises and they do not necessarily correlate with rates of clearing.</p>
