The Wet Tropics of Queensland World Heritage Area is a special area in which we work and has a range of measures implemented to protect it.
Some of the most successful are the development and training in the Codes of Practice for Maintenance developed for the Dept of Main Roads and the Electricity Industry (the QESI Code). The Missing Link Resource Coordinators were instrumental in the development of the original Codes for the area, and are involved in the ongoing training of key personnel in infrastructure and maintenance agencies in what they mean.
A Code of Practice provides practical advice on how and what to do and what is necessary: |
- To minimize the impact of the activities
- To meet the permit requirements
- To reduce the risk of prosecution
|
