LBCCG is a small community group formed in 1992 that seeks to improve water quality throughout the Lake Baroon catchment by implementing on-ground works, education and awareness events. The group has grown from a part time Coordinator to currently employing one full time Manager, one part time Project Manager, two part-time Project Officers and a part time Office Manager.
Seqwater delivers a safe, secure water supply across south east Queensland and are committed to their vision of Water for life.
Catchments play a vital role in supplying safe drinking water and are an integral part of the ‘catchment to tap’ approach for potable water production.
Seqwater recognises the importance of engaging stakeholders, customers and the community, and partners with LBCCG in the Lake Baroon catchment to deliver on ground projects and raise awareness of current best practice to reduce risks to source water quality.

Annual Report 2025.2026

2025/2026 became the Year of Maintenance with over 145,000 plants in the ground to maintain and a Five year Implementation plan to write, new projects were pared back. Project staff swiftly responded to the changes in the catchment in order to protect the Obi Obi creek and its riparian zones, as a large Macadamia Orchard switched to Beef grazing. With thanks always to our staff, committee, contractors, landholders and supporters.

Environment Levy Partnership

LBCCG’s activities align well with the Sunshine Coast Council’s Biodiversity & Waterways management strategies.

Consequently, Council through the Environment Levy Partnership program supports LBCCG with operational funding to assist in the delivery of on-ground projects in the lake Baroon catchment. This is a successful ongoing partnership and has resulted in LBCCG being able to plan with certainty and consistently source additional external funding.
