Clean Water Campaign

Clean Up Australia's Clean Water Campaign is helping communities around Australia learn to live with climate change by advocating better water management and increasing levels of understanding about practical actions people can take every day to save water.

From the Busby's Bore Project, which will service Sydney's green parks with recycled water, to speaking out on water reform in areas such as Toowoomba, through our range of projects and events falling under the Clean Water Camapign, in ten years time we hope to see:

• Extensive wastewater reuse
• Water being used sustainably
• Healthy rivers, harbours and oceans.

Projects currently included in the Clean Water Campaign:

• Leadership on Water Reform
• Healthy Rivers - Parramatta River, Derwent River
• Coastal Rubbish Education
• Gulf of Carpentaria Ghost Nets
• Busby's Bore
  

Track Record

While the Clean Water Campaign is now a national initiative launched in 2005, Clean Up Australia has been cleaning up waterways for over 17 years and our track record in community water issues is impressive.

Many of our ‘fix-up' projects such as the Parsley Bay Remediation Project have seen the restoration of once degraded waterways, while other projects such as the Taronga Zoo Waste Water Treatment Plant have showcased innovative water recycling technologies.
Some of our completed projects include:

• Taronga Zoo Waste Water Treatment Plant (NSW)
• Richmond Water Reuse (NSW)
• Parsley Bay Remediation (NSW)
• Moonee Ponds Stormwater Initiative (VIC)
• Tsunami Clean Water Project
• Karkarook Park Wetland Restoration
• Coffs Harbour Sewerage Strategy
