What can you do to protect the Georges River?
When you are out and about, on or near our waterways, please report any incidents which could affect the health of the river or people using the river and its amenities.
When washing your car or boat, do it on your lawn so that detergents and wastewater don’t end up in our waterways.

Love Your Waterways
Everything we do in and around our homes, backyards, parks, schools, workplaces and public spaces affects the quality of water that runs off our streets, goes into the stormwater drains and ends up in our local waterways.Your nearest waterway could be a stream, creek, river, bay, beach, harbour or even the ocean!
Coastal Management Program
Georges Riverkeeper is working with member Councils and stakeholders to develop a Coastal Management Program (CMP) for the Georges River estuary including the catchments and coastal zone of the Georges River.
Be waste wise
When it rains, litter and pollutants on our streets gets washed into the river via stormwater drains.
Get The Site Right
A campaign targeting erosion and sediment control on building and construction sites and highlighting the impact of sediment laden runoff on our waterways.
#SeaToSource
#SeaToSource, a Conservation Volunteers Australia initiative, is helping to act on one of the world’s most solvable environmental issues – ocean litter.
