Catchment Groups

Many community groups in the ACT are supported by one of three umbrella Catchment Groups which are structured in a similar fashion to District Landcare Networks in NSW.

The three Catchment Groups and Coordinators:

» Southern ACT Catchment Group
» Ginninderra Catchment Group
» Molonglo Catchment Group.

Each Catchment Group is a 'group-of-groups' whose primary aims are to:

  • Improve the environs of the ACT;
  • Provide a support network for smaller community environment groups;
  • Coordinate on-ground action through 'sub-catchment planning'
  • enable the community to address priority issues in a strategic fashion well into the future.
  • Improve information exchange;
  • Educate the community on the importance of Landcare and natural resource management; and
  • Enhance the wider community's awareness of the environment and the impact we have on it.
