We work closely with the state government and community to raise awareness and get critical support for the Yarra. We help give a voice to the river and community that relies on it by taking part in key policy and decision-making processes.
The Yarra Riverkeeper Association and Environmental Justice Australia is pleased to be publishing this Review.
In this review, over 40 years of reports on the Yarra corridor have been analyzed and, while many good reports have been written and many good recommendations made, many of those recommendations have not been implemented, to the river’s and Melbourne’s detriment. Three key issues facing the river have surfaced in this review: fragmentation of responsibility, inconsistencies in planning and a lack of continuity in implementing recommendations.
