Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority :: Regional Engagement and Planning

Regional Engagement and Planning

The establishment of regional offices in communities along the Great Barrier Reef is about enhancing the work of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA). Our regional offices provide better linkages with Great Barrier Reef coastal communities and enhance local involvement in decision-making, compliance and stewardship of the Great Barrier Reef. The GBRMPA has dedicated staff based in Cairns, Townsville, Mackay and Rockhampton. The four offices cover the following regions:

  • Cape York Region (Cape York to Bloomfield River) - based in the Cairns Office
  • Far Northern Region (Daintree to Mission Beach) - based in the Cairns Office
  • Regional Office Coordination Unit (previously known as the Northern Region - Tully to the Burdekin) - based in the Townsville Office
  • Central Region (Bowen to St Lawrence) - based in the Mackay Office
  • Southern Region (Stanage Bay to Bundaberg) - based in the Rockhampton Office.

Maps and other information continue to be available through Community Access Points that have been established in partnership with bait and tackle shops, marine retailers and Visitor Information Centres along the Queensland coast.

Our primary roles

  • To enhance communication between regional stakeholders and the main GBRMPA office in Townsville
  • To strengthen relationships with our management partners and other government agencies in the regions
  • To provide support to the existing Local Marine Advisory Committees and other regional GBRMPA initiatives and activities based in the regions.
