The Queensland government will invest a further $270 million into protecting the Great Barrier Reef and regenerating land as part of the state budget next week.
The multimillion dollar injection will build on $400 million already invested into the reef since 2015.
Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon also announced an extra $60 million would be allocated to the Australian Land Restoration Fund to "turbocharge carbon farming" in the state.
Ms Scanlon says the large investment is part of the government's continued push to move the dial further in protective measures for the reef.
"The $270 million announcement is part of new funding to provide confidence and certainty to industry that the government backs the reef," she said in Cairns on Friday.
"Our increased expenditure in the reef and the Land Restoration Fund will help spark Queensland's economic recovery while also ensuring our native fauna and flora, and our cultural heritage will be preserved and enhanced for the generations to come."
Deputy Premier Steven Miles says threats to the reef include sediment, fertiliser and nutrient runoff, climate change and ocean acidification.
He said the government will allocate more than $330 million aimed at addressing each of those challenges.
"We're working with landholders to reduce sediment runoff from their lands, pesticide runoff and fertiliser runoff, helping them to plan and keep more trees on their land," he said.
"But also help to capture carbon in the soil and do our part in assisting in the effort to address global warming."
The additional $60 million allocated to the Land Fund Restoration adds to a previous $500 million commitment by the state government.
Ms Scanlon said more funding would be announced in Tuesday's budget for environmental initiatives in the areas of waste, national parks, resource recovery and wildlife.
