The Stony Creek Rehabilitation Plan (2019-2029) identifies long-term and sustained actions that span recovery to active rehabilitation of the creek and its surrounds.
At Melbourne Water we recognise how valued Stony Creek is in the local community, and how passionate people are about its recovery and rehabilitation – it’s part of what makes living here so great.
That’s why we involved the local community to create a plan based on insights, aspirations and recommended actions that support the long-term rehabilitation and future protection of Stony Creek. The final Stony Creek Rehabilitation Plan was officially launched on 8 September 2019.
Since then, we have continued to work together with the community, research partners and partner agencies towards the recovery and rehabilitation of Stony Creek.
