Araluen Creek Restoration Project

UDCLG’s application to the Bushfire Community Recovery and Resilience Fund was successful and the group has received $290 000 to implement sediment control strategies in the Araluen Creek below the Neringla Bridge. In light of the UDCLGs grant success I am happy to announce that I have been engaged by the group to facilitate communications, provide support and engagement with the local community, landowners and stakeholders for the 12 month duration of the project. Commencing July 2021.
