We are hopeful that the new Government’s Urban Rivers and Catchments Program will provide real and tangible benefits for our local waterways.
The $200 million program will help fund:
- Creating wetlands to slow water flow and filter stormwater before it reaches our rivers
- Citizen science and education projects for pre-schoolers and school age children
- Removing cement walls and returning them to natural riverbanks
- Revegetation and tree planting
The grant program will cover small community grants and grants for state and local government.
