Loddon River Restoration Plan

At the Newstead 2021 Community Summit in 2008, the local community expressed that the restoration of the natural values of the river was very important. A broadly representative group of interested individuals including farmers, town dwellers, bush block owners and others formed the view that a carefully prepared community-based plan was an essential first step towards restoring our precious river. It was decided that Newstead Landcare Group would facilitate the development of this plan.

This plan is a draft, which will be modified to incorporate further community input. A community meeting will be held to gather such feedback. Feedback can also be provided by email to patrickkavanagh@bigpond.com or to Jennie Grundy on 5476 2314.
