About us
WELCOME TO COUNTRY
THE RUSSELL RIVER CATCHMENT
Whole-of-catchment planning
We transform policy into effective on-ground action to improve catchment condition and water quality discharged to the Great Barrier Reef. Working within a modified landscape, we operate at the catchment scale – identifying opportunities for environmental restoration and engineered solutions.
Our approach



SMART MANAGEMENT
We take a strategic approach, creating frameworks and models to prioritise limited resources for cost-effective solutions. Our successes are inspiring other community groups towards a sustainability approach.
COLLABORATION
Our work unites farmers, scientists, traditional owners and the community in collaborative partnerships. We design and deliver projects using best-practice and with continuous development in mind.
INNOVATION
Our work leads the way in integrated solutions. We restore water quality, hydrology and habitat across the catchment through innovative water treatment systems and ecological restoration projects.
