Catchment Education Program

Educating our community about our local catchment ensures that our community understand, support and are able to participate in pro-environmental behaviours, that work towards improving water quality and care for our catchments. Fairfield City catchments are vulnerable to flooding and we also want to ensure that our education program improves the flood preparedness and resilience of our community.

Below are links to the Catchment Education Program developed for teachers and primary students.

Zero Litter in Georges River

Zero Litter in Georges River logo

Rainfall on hard surfaces like footpaths, roofs and roads, runs off into stormwater drains, washing pollution from streets into creeks and rivers. Litter pollution in waterways is poisoning our environment.

A healthy environment is vital for human health, safety and wellbeing. Zero litter in the Georges River means a healthier and safer river for people to enjoy, and the survival of the plants and animals that depend on it. For more information click on the link below.
