A record Great Barrier Reef protection investment is set to be unveiled in a state's budget, targeting ways to improve water quality for the natural wonder.
However, conservationists have taken aim at the Queensland government announcement, saying the extra funding will do nothing to stop the greatest threat facing the reef - climate change.
The Queensland government has announced $330.5 million will be included in next week's budget announcement for reef protection, delivering a strategy with ambitious targets to reduce sediment, nutrients and pesticides by 2032.
It comes after a federal lifeline of almost $92 million was delivered as Australia looks to avoid an unwanted "in danger" ruling for the world-famous wonder.
Queensland's funding will back programs and research jobs to help landowners reduce run-off in a bid to improve the reef's health.
