The Waterways program is one of the two operational Roles of the Authority (the other being in Floodplain Management). The Implementation or Waterway Program oversees river health and water quality research, monitoring and implementation activities in the catchment.
GRANTS
Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority's Waterway Grants Program provides cash incentives for landholders to undertake works to prevent or repair degradation along waterways.
The program is enhanced when landholders and community groups assist the Goulburn Broken CMA to rehabilitate continuous stretches of waterways.
The grants are prioritised. When works undertaken by a landholder provide multiple benefits for the environment - such as improving water quality, protecting native vegetation and improving biodiversity - they will be rated highly and attract funding at the top end of the scale.
The grants are available for:
- Fencing
- Revegetation
- Off-stream watering points for stock.
