Information Sheets
There are two information sheets for the Cooks River Sustainability Initiative. The first provides a general overview of the Initiative while the second provides more in depth information on how the Initiative’s outcomes will be achieved and a description of the roles of the Initiative team and partner councils.
Subcatchment Planning Booklets
A planning booklet will be produced for each of the six Cooks River Sustainability Initiative subcatchments (booklets will be added to this page as they are completed). The booklets contain information gathered during the physical, social and organisational profiling process. This includes the results of the community water survey, information about the physical environment including a water cycle showing how water is currently used, and details of relevant authorities and land users operating in the area. The booklets will be used to inform the visioning sessions and planning forums to be held in each subcatchment.
