Watershed Torbay was a four year project which drew up a comprehensive restoration plan for the Torbay catchment and began implementing it.

The project will help the community to

  • Identify a future vision for the catchment
  • Get better information about the state of the catchment, the sources of nutrients, and how to manage the wetlands which are receiving water from the catchment
  • Develop a plan to improve drainage management
  • Develop a plan to restore all of the waterways in the catchment
  • Implement activities across the catchment to improve the waterways
  • Monitor and evaluate progress

Special funding was obtained to do this work in Torbay as a national demonstration project. The results, successes and experience will be communicated across Australia.
