Council contributes to Healthy Waterways program May 2009
As part of its commitment to the environment, Moreton Bay Regional Council will provide continued financial support to the Healthy Waterways Partnership this financial year.
Mayor Allan Sutherland (pictured at right) 
said council would provide $157,600 to the partnership to help improve catchment management and waterway health in the rivers of Moreton Bay and South East Queensland.
“There can be no better way to manage our precious waterways than through this collaborative process,” he said.
The Healthy Waterways Partnership is a longstanding collaboration involving the Queensland Government, South-East Queensland councils, researchers, industry groups and community organisations.
“Moreton Bay region is able to directly benefit from a number of programs through council’s involvement in Healthy Waterways,” Cr Sutherland said.
“These include research based and independent scientific advice, an annual report on the health of the region’s waterways and the promotion of water sensitive urban design practices.”
