World Water Day – March 22

On March 22, we recognise World Water Day - a global reminder of just how vital clean, healthy waterways are to our environment and our communities.

As our region grows, increasing urbanisation and tourism place added pressure on freshwater systems. Expanding infrastructure, stormwater runoff, sedimentation, wastewater loads and higher recreational use can all impact water quality and ecological balance. Without careful management, these pressures can lead to degraded habitats, reduced biodiversity, and declining water clarity.

This is why the work of Friends of Bullock Creek is so important. Through native planting, pest control, habitat restoration and ongoing community involvement, we are helping to strengthen the resilience and health of Bullock Creek. Established vegetation filters runoff, stabilises banks, reduces erosion, and creates vital habitat for native species - all contributing to cleaner water flowing through our catchment.

This World Water Day, we acknowledge both the challenges facing our waterways and the collective action needed to protect them. Thank you to our volunteers, supporters and partners who help ensure Bullock Creek remains healthy for generations to come.
