Waterway Health Improvement

The Waterway Health Improvement Program, in conjunction with council programs, is required to help reduce the impact of growth on liveability and to improve waterway health.

Urban stormwater has been acknowledged as the primary cause of decline in waterway health and aquatic ecosystems. This project aims to mitigate the adverse effects of this stormwater run-off and improve the ecological and social value of Sydney’s waterways.

The main project objectives are to improve waterway health by:

  • reducing sediment, suspended solids and nutrients from stormwater runoff discharging to waterways
  • removing plastic waste and other gross pollutants from stormwater runoff discharging to waterways
  • providing ecological and social value improvement to waterways and contribute to amenity and liveability for customers.
