Castlemaine Urban Waterways Management Plan

Council adopted the Castlemaine Urban Waterways Management Plan at its Ordinary Meeting of Council on 16 October 2018.

The plan guides how Council will work with local Landcare groups to manage 70 hectares of public land around urban waterways throughout Castlemaine, Campbells Creek and Chewton.

It identifies opportunities to improve walking and cycling links, enhance the experiences for visitors and improve water quality. The plan also provides a solid basis to seek financial and strategic support from other levels of government and facilitate education programs with local schools so students can learn about and interact with the waterways.

The plan's vision is to work collaboratively to protect and improve the waterways’ environmental, social and cultural values whilst minimising risks.
