The primary aim of the project is to support the recovery of the Araluen Creek and its tributaries down to the confluence with the Deua River. Extensive drought, devastating bushfire and numerous major flooding events have caused significant damage and instability in the creek.

Together with partners the Local Land Service and Soil Conservation Service approximately 20 sites have been identified for remediation. On ground site assessments are scheduled to be undertaken in August with works to commence Summer 2021/22. These sites require immediate attention and efforts to stabilise erosion, sediment movement, stream deviations, weed infestation and instability.

A series of engaging workshops will be run by the Upper Shoalhaven Landcare Council in conjunction with the project, providing relevant information, technique and hands on demonstration.
