A fire event occurred in mid-2024, impacting approximately 500 hectares in the southern portion of the property. Subsequent field observations indicate that favourable rainfall conditions have supported minimal long-term impact across the affected area. A full assessment will be reported in the next reporting period.

About the landholder.
Karen and Robert Scanlan are passionate about leaving their landscape in better condition than they found it and are actively working to improve biodiversity and increase native species on their property, Kenmay Station. Thanks to their efforts over the last 9 years, approximately 60% of the property now has vegetation cover, with much of it being high-quality remnant vegetation. The Scanlan’s use a holistic management approach to implement regenerative grazing practices and multi-species pastures, and also make their own compost tea to boost soil health and function. The Scanlan’s became interested in regenerative and holistic management through their involvement with a local producer group when they lived on the Sunshine Coast, who delivered workshops with guest speakers. Robert is also particularly interested in breeding the best genetics for the local environmental conditions and breeds high-quality Drought Masters for breeding stock.
