Working together for the health of our environment

Wednesday 4 October, 2023
A commitment to work together for the health of the region’s natural environment has resulted in a partnership between government and agency, Traditional Owner, community and industry groups.

The Goulburn Broken Catchment Partnership Agreement 2023-27 has been signed by 38 organisations which will see them continue to work together to protect and improve the health of the Goulburn Broken catchment. 

Goulburn Broken CMA Chief Executive Officer Chris Cumming said a cooperative effort would result in improved outcomes for the environment.  

“Partnerships are critical to the success of environmental health. They have been the base of natural resource management in the Goulburn Broken catchment for more than 25 years,” Ms Cumming said. 

“The agreement helps the ongoing partnerships achieve more resilient landscapes and successful communities in the Goulburn Broken catchment. In turn, it supports Traditional Owners and the broader community to create a sustainable future for all generations to come. 

”The Partnership Agreement supports the Goulburn Broken Regional Catchment Strategy (RCS). The RCS is a catchment-wide strategy that guides actions to improve and protect the land and water and the native animals and plants. It’s also about sustaining the health of our community within the catchment.”

The Goulburn Broken CMA acknowledges and respects First Nations people and the deep connection they have with their land and waters.


We acknowledge the Yorta Yorta and Taungurung people and their ancestors/forbears as Traditional Owners of the land and waters in the Goulburn Broken Catchment (and beyond). We value our ongoing partnerships with Yorta Yorta Nation Aboriginal Corporation and Taungurung Land and Waters Council for the health of Country and its people.


We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge and recognise the primacy of Traditional Owners obligations, rights and responsibilities to use and care for their traditional lands and waters.
