Bayside Council actively supports the health and care of the Cooks River Catchment area, which includes Wolli Creek and Muddy Creek. The council has recently embraced the objectives of the "Our Backyard River" campaign as part of its environmental stewardship efforts.
The campaign emphasizes the protection and rehabilitation of waterways in the local catchment. Bayside Council’s involvement underlines its dedication to long-term ecological sustainability in the region. This initiative aligns with the council’s broader goals for environmental management and community engagement.
The campaign encourages cooperation among local governments and community groups to restore and preserve river catchments. Through this shared approach, the council aims to enhance water quality, biodiversity, and public awareness in the catchment areas.
“The health of the Cooks River and its tributaries is essential for the wellbeing of our communities and ecosystems,” a council spokesperson noted.
Bayside Council’s adoption of this campaign reflects its commitment to collaborative river conservation and sustainable management of local waterways.
