Munni Street Subcatchment

Munni Street Subcatchment is located in the City of Sydney. The Subcatchment is a defined area that includes parts of Alexandria, Darlington, Erskineville, Eveleigh and Newtown (Click here to see a map). Stormwater from this area flows into the Alexandra Canal which flows into the Cooks River near Sydney Airport. OurRiver is working with City of Sydney, subcatchment residents and other stakeholders to develop a subcatchment management plan for this area.
