10. Update on Great Barrier Reef progress for the World Heritage Centre – Hon Josh Frydenberg MP & Hon Steven Miles MP media release
Australia ICOMOS is committed to the dissemination of relevant cultural heritage information. In line with this commitment we are circulating the following media release from the Hon Josh Frydenberg MP & the Hon Steven Miles MP, dated 2 December 2016.
The Australian and Queensland governments’ update to the World Heritage Centre shows strong progress has been made to protect and improve the Great Barrier Reef.
The World Heritage Committee unanimously endorsed the Reef 2050 Plan in June 2015 and asked Australia to provide an update on its implementation by December 2016.
Federal Minister for the Environment and Energy Josh Frydenberg said the Reef 2050 Plan Update on Progress released today demonstrates Australia’s ongoing commitment to the long-term health of one of the world’s great natural wonders.
“Significant progress on actions has been achieved in the first 18 months of the 35-year Plan and the blueprint for a new era in Reef protection has been established for ongoing cooperation and collaboration involving governments, science, industries and communities,” Mr Frydenberg said.
“The update highlights that of the 151 actions scheduled in the initial five years, 32 have been completed and another 103 are underway and on track.
“Key outcomes include legislation to manage the impact of ports and dredging, including a ban on the disposal of dredge material in the World Heritage Area, and support for cane farming and grazing practices that will improve water quality.”
Alongside the progress update, a Reef 2050 Plan Investment Framework was also released. It shows the various actions being funded by governments, industry and the community and priorities for future investment have been determined.
The six priority areas for funding are:
- Improving water quality
- Supporting the field management program
- Monitoring and reporting progress
- Reducing crown-of-thorns starfish
- Increasing traditional owner participation in on-ground activities
- Ensuring the sustainability of Queensland fisheries.
The Australian and Queensland governments will provide more than $2 billion for the Reef over the next 10 years, with an additional injection through the Finance Corporation’s $1 billion Reef Fund.
Queensland Minister for the Great Barrier Reef, Dr Steven Miles, said while the scale of the challenge to protect and improve the Reef was massive and complex both Governments were proud of what had been achieved.
“It is important to remember the update on progress covers only a short period and this time coincided with the most severe event ever to impact the health of the Reef,” Dr Miles said.
“We realise the Great Barrier Reef suffered mass coral bleaching driven by climate change. This is a worldwide problem and we are committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.”
Mr Frydenberg said Australia is making a concerted effort to address climate change and, in ratifying the Paris Climate Agreement, put forward an emissions reduction target for 2030 among the highest of any G20 country on a per capita basis.
Dr Miles said water quality is recognised as a major challenge for the Reef second only to climate change.
“Improving water quality directly boosts the health and resilience of the Reef and gives it a greater ability to recover from major shocks such as coral bleaching,” Dr Miles said.
“More than half a billion is being invested in Reef 2050 water quality actions and the good news is progress is being made.
