  • Zero Litter in Georges River

    Litter is gross! Rain washes all the disgusting waste from our streets down stormwater drains to our creeks and rivers. It’s poisoning the Georges River, killing wildlife and making it dangerous for us humans. We want zero litter in Georges River! Georges Riverkeeper is teaming up with schools and councils across the catchment to help educate everyone about how to stop stormwater polluting the Georges River.

  • Georges River pollution

    While plastic pollution is the most visible, most of the pollution enters through stormwater. Sewage leaks and overflows as well as mining activities also cause pollution. There are also a great variety of organic and inorganic contaminants polluting the river.

  • Get The Site Right Blitz

    We’re putting builders and developers on notice! Get your site right or be fined. During May 2023, Council rangers will be conducting targeted inspections looking at erosion and sediment control on building sites. A one-day blitz will be held on Thursday, 18 May when all participating councils, NSW EPA and DPIE go out in force to inspect developments, focusing on ‘repeat offenders’ or those sites that were found to be non-compliant on the first visit earlier in the month.

Stroll down a bush pathway, picnic at a local park, cast your line in and sit back and relax or launch your boat from one of many boat ramps. Whether you are out on the water or riverside, please ensure that you dispose of any rubbish responsibly.
