Back then…
The Werribee River Association began in 1981, led by a group of vocal community members who were concerned about the degradation of the Werribee River and the impacts of urbanisation. They spoke up, took action, and their legacy remains today.
And now…
The organisation has become a professional environmental agency, with a small team of 3-4 part-time staff, working with hundreds of community volunteers, across multiple programs, and in partnership with dozens of stakeholders.
Werribee River Association also hosts the Werribee Riverkeeper, part of an International Alliance of Waterkeepers.
The social, community and environmental benefits delivered through the Werribee River Association are estimated to be over $1 million per annum.
But we do this with your support!
