Murrumbidgee ACT Chapter

Set-up in partnership with the Ginninderry Conservation Trust, The OzFish Murrumbidgee Chapter primary focus is the Murrumbidgee River – particularly a stretch from below Shepherds Lookout west of Belconnen to the inflow of Ginninderra Creek, across the border in New South Wales. The stretch of the Murrumbidgee River in question faces a number of challenges, including: invasive species, weeds and a fragmented riparian zone, silting, erosion, and pollution. Chapter members will engage in a range of restoration activities to return healthy habitat and raise awareness of its importance within the local community. 

Location

The Murrumbidgee Chapter spans the border of the ACT and NSW along the Murrumbidgee River and Ginninderra Creek; and is an integral part of sustainable living at Ginninderry. It incorporates more than 596 hectares of scenic landscape made up of open woodland, native grasslands a flowing river and waterfalls, and is home to an abundant range of flora and fauna including some endangered species and culturally significant land along the Murrumbidgee River, Ginninderra Creek and Ginninderra Falls.

Country

The Murrumbidgee is the only river still known as its indigenous name. The Chapter is supporting the local Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country.

Meeting
