Port Phillip and Westernport Regional River Health Strategy
Full Strategy
The Port Phillip and Westernport Regional River Health Strategy identifies:
- waterway values (catchment based)
- threats to waterway values
- actions to address these threats.
The strategy provides a five-year blueprint for Melbourne Water, the Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority, councils, community groups and environmental and industry associations to work together to improve our rivers and creeks. It forms an important part of the Port Phillip and Westernport Regional Catchment Strategy, which sets the framework for the overall coordination of natural resource management.
