Stock routes

The Queensland stock route network is mainly used for moving stock, pasture for emergency agistment and long-term grazing.

To use the stock route network, you need permits for:

  • travelling stock on foot
  • grazing (agistment) of stock
  • using water facilities.

You must apply to the relevant local government for an appropriate permit.
