Key achievements for 2009
- Numerous field trips and community meetings were undertaken in the priority catchments to provide information to the community from the science team and to gain an understanding of the erosion processes that dominate these focal catchments.
- Waterway rehabilitation plans were produced, in partnership with the eWater CRC, for the three focal catchments (Bremer, Lockyer and Knapps Creek). The Plans included sediment budgets, testing of the sediment budgets and rehabilitation scenarios including the types of activities required to achieve 50% reduction in sediment.
- A suite of "no regrets" projects identified in each focal catchment were assessed by the science team on their applicability to the project's overall aims.
- A Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy was developed with the eWater CRC and implementation commenced.
- A Communication Strategy for the Healthy Country project was developed and implemented. Achievements have included:
- A Healthy Country website
- Several newsletters and media releases
- Public launch of Healthy Country
- Poster session at the Riversymposium
