In April 2023 we celebrated the official launch of the Gardiners Creek (KooyongKoot) Regional Collaboration. We are proud to be part of this alliance, working together with 15 other organisations to protect and enhance the Gardiners Creek catchment.
Protecting the catchment
We joined the Collaboration because we believe in its purpose, which is to protect and improve the cultural, amenity, and environmental value of the Gardiners Creek (KooyongKoot) catchment.
We are doing this for the benefit of the community and the environment.
Long-term vision
The long-term vision of the Collaboration is that:
- KooyongKoot and its catchment is protected, valued and loved, supporting diverse uses and thriving biodiversity.
- Traditional Owners play a key role in its management, as custodians of our natural environment.
- community and all stakeholders work together to heal, strengthen and ensure the resilience of KooyongKoot and its catchment.
We will help to achieve this vision, along with the other Collaboration members, through the delivery of key projects and programs.
The Collaboration are looking for opportunities to form strategic and funding partnerships with different levels of government, business, educational and not for profit organisations, and community to support the delivery of these projects and programs.
