Riverkeeper Program - How it works

The Georges Riverkeeper program is focused on undertaking on ground restoration works for member councils along the river which include rubbish and weed removal, bush  regeneration with other conservation works as required by member councils. The Riverkeeper program cluster is made up of the GRCCC technical officers from each member council. 

The achievements of the Riverkeeper Program are reported within the GRCCC Annual Report.  The Riverkeeper also monitors the health of the Georges River and works to halt pollution. Following negotiations with the National Parks and Wildlife Service the Riverkeeper operations have relocated the Riverkeeper premises to the Georges River National Park.National Green Jobs Corps volunteers (October, 2011)
