Making a difference for our children's future

Since inception in 2004, the Border Rivers-Gwydir Catchment Management Authority (CMA) has established over 1,600 partnerships with landholders and others around the catchment to enhance the environment and boost local communities.

With the contribution and dedication of community members, landholders and other partners we have 350,000 hectares under management for control of invasive species and have improved groundcover, soil condition and native vegetation on 1,052,722 hectares of land. We have also improved water use efficiency through management of 22,215 hectares for improved irrigation practices.

In every project we initiate or support we strive to strike a balance between productivity and sustainability. Our purpose is to help people in our communities look after their land for future generations. After all, it is your commitment and investment in the sustainable management of the Border Rivers-Gwydir catchment that has achieved such results.
