An exciting 2017 line-up!

17 January 2017

The Northern Hub has an exciting line-up of work for 2017. Reports and wrap-up fact sheets from several of our year-long 2015/16 projects are being finalised for release in the next month or so, and we have fifteen 2016-2019/20 projects moving into top gear. Of these 15, six projects are located in the Kimberley’s Fitzroy river catchment, six have field sites in the Top End of the Northern Territory and four projects are operating in north Queensland. There are also two whole-of-northern Australia projects (and if you’ve added these up you’ll note that several projects operate in more than one location!). In addition we have at least two new projects starting up in 2017. Please get in touch with us at nesp.northern@cdu.edu.au if you have any questions or would like more information about the Northern Hub in 2017.
