The Molonglo Catchment Group

The Molonglo Catchment Group is one of three community-based catchment groups in the ACT.  All catchment group areas cross over the NSW border, however the Molonglo Catchment is largely in NSW.  The catchment groups act as umbrella groups for the many Landcare and other natural resource management (NRM) interest groups in their geographical area. The group's basic objectives are available here ( 23 KB).

The group is supported by the ACT Government through the Australian Government’s Natural Heritage Trust by funding the Molonglo Catchment Coordinator position. Murrumbidgee CMA provides additional support by locating the Coordinator in their office in Queanbeyan.

The key function of the catchment groups is to coordinate NRM activities through the development and implementation of a catchment plan and provide strategic support to NRM groups to develop projects and receive and administer grants. 

The Molonglo Catchment Group was incorporated in December 2003 and embarked on a whole of catchment planning process following a framework for the planning process which had been previously established.  There is a strong and active network of Landcare groups across the catchment in both the ACT and NSW jurisdictions.

The Molonglo Catchment Strategy prepares the catchment community for engagement with the Australian Government’s Natural Heritage Trust (NHT) and National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality (NAP) programs, which require a regional approach to project delivery.
