Community representatives from across the Corangamite catchment met this week to launch a three-year term of the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority\u2019s Community Engagement Network (CEN).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Community Engagement Network provides a forum for information exchange to strengthen community understanding of the Corangamite CMA\u2019s role in natural resource management within the region; identify community needs, issues, and barriers to participation in natural resource management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Corangamite CMA Chief Executive Office, John Riddiford said our Community Engagement Network is about fostering community advocacy and support for improved natural resource management in our region to ensure healthy and productive lands and waters are cared for by thriving communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTwenty-nine passionate and diverse individuals\u2019 make-up the members of our Community Engagement Network, many are ongoing members and others have been newly appointed to the network. It is excellent to see a diversity of talent, interest and geographic representation across the region. For example, we have a diverse age range with several members in their twenties who are passionate about expanding their knowledge and leading the next generation of environmental stewards,\u201d said Mr Riddiford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
