The Georges Riverkeeper Committee met prior to the meeting at Loftus Reserve on Fifth Avenue in Macquarie Field for a site visit. Campbelltown City Council and Georges Riverkeeper have an Environmental Trust grant here (Simmos Beach Restoration project), which is almost complete. At the meeting Campbelltown City Council staff gave a presentation on their Platypus Pals monitoring and education project, where they have used eDNA to survey the presence of platypus within the Georges River Catchment. Clean Up Australia Day events that Georges Riverkeeper are involved with were also discussed. The meeting was hosted by Campbelltown City Council.
