Our mission is to protect and preserve Earth's life-sustaining waters for the benefit of present and future generations, guided by science and Indigenous wisdom.
Advocating for a Water Plan to protect people and nature for the next generations
Water is foundational to healthy ecosystems and their services that in turn support our healthy society, economy, cultures, and way of life.
But how is our water managed? The Gold Coast Water Plan was developed almost twenty years ago and is currently under review.
Key areas of this State legislation need improving to govern more sustainable management of water both for a growing Gold Coast population and to support a healthy environment.
THANK YOU & 2023 UPDATE
We are deeply grateful for your unwavering dedication and passionate advocacy during the recent review of the Water Plan (Gold Coast) 2006. Your voices united in concern and determination made an undeniable impact.
Thank you, from the depths of our hearts, for being the guardians of our waters. Your dedication and passion have made a real difference, and together, we will continue to stand strong as stewards of our planet.
