Rivers and creeks provide multiple benefits to the environment including many benefits to people. However since European settlement widespread degradation of waterways and their catchments has occurred. All levels of government acknowledge this and there are range of government and community based programs, policies and planning frameworks which have been specifically developed to address the issue. Council has recognised the need for a local scale plan that complements existing frameworks to assist with rehabilitation/restoration of local waterways.
