The Corangamite CMA funds waterway protection and restoration works with incentives available for fencing, weed control, revegetation, stock crossings and off-stream water points, willow removal and pest animal management.
Funding is targeted towards waterways within specific geographic areas under the Corangamite Waterway Strategy. This round is seeking to protect rivers that have nationally listed threatened fish species or possible refuge habitat, and/or are sources of drinking water or environmental flows.
To read more about what may be involved in a waterway project please see our past projects page.
Between 2016 and 2020, Corangamite CMA and our partners completed over 170 kilometres of river frontage restoration, including:
Barwon Flagship Project - New Riparian Works Trial
The Barwon Flagship project is a long-term project aiming to improve the health of the Barwon River. As part of this, the Corangamite CMA has developed a specifically designed works trial to address the unique challenges in the Upper Barwon system.
To be eligible for CMA funding a project site needs to meet land ownership eligibility requirements and be on an eligible waterway.
Any projects which are NOT currently on a mapped eligible waterway are still encouraged to submit an expression of interest, as priorities do change and it helps with future planning and funding consideration.
Eligible activities include fencing, stock crossings and off-stream water points, weed control, revegetation, willow removal and pest and animal management.
Expressions of interest are currently closed – check back again soon to express your interest in future funding rounds.
