Hawkesbury Nepean River Recovery Program (HNRRP)
In May 2009 the Australian Government announced up to $77.4 million of funding for the Hawkesbury Nepean River Recovery Program (HNRRP), and I commenced work as Program Manager in June 2009. After just over two years of very intensive activity the HNRRP came to an end in September 2011, having successfully delivered its intended outcomes on time and under budget. The HNRRP has improved river health by making more water available for environmental flows and reducing nutrient inputs to the river system.
The September 2011 edition of HNRRP e-news reflects on some of the major achievements from the seven HNRRP projects and celebrates the great work that has been done to improve the health of the Hawkesbury-Nepean catchment. The HNRRP Final Report will be published in early 2012.
