5:30pm for 6:00pm start

Management of the upper Murrumbidgee and Snowy rivers is the subject of an independent review initiated by for the federal government following an agreement reached with Senator David Pocock. 

A draft report was released on 7 July and is open for consultation until Tuesday 4 August.

The mighty Murrumbidgee river has been in terminal decline for decades and currently receives less than 10% of its natural inflow of water. The final report will be crucial in determining whether we can save our magnificent river and improve the environmental, social and cultural benefits it delivers.

It’s on all of us to ensure the draft report is strengthened and governments deliver on key recommendations. We’ve invited key experts and advocates to attend a public forum this Tuesday 28 July to explain what needs to be done to save the river, and how we can help.

Come for a drink and a chat from 5:30pm, event starts at 6:00pm.

Speakers will be Terry Korodaj (Chair, Upper Murrumbidgee Catchment Network), Professor Jamie Pittock (Fenner School of Environment & Society, ANU) and Senator David Pocock, with moderator Jessie Price, Community Independent candidate for Bean.

Join us to learn more about protecting our iconic Upper Murrumbidgee and to ask questions. All welcome.
