The Nerang River is the largest and most significant river system on the Gold Coast. The waterways provide recreational and economic opportunities, flood mitigation, habitat for a range of flora and fauna and also have important cultural significance.
The Health Study will provide recommendations and an updated management tool to enable a coordinated approach for the protection and restoration of the lower Nerang River catchment lakes and canals.
The recommended draft Environmental Values and associated Water Quality Objectives from the Study will feed into the State’s ongoing Water Quality review being undertaken by the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection.
The study area is in Carrara, Clear Island Waters, Merrimac, Robina, Mermaid Waters, Miami, Varsity Lakes and Burleigh Waters. Click here to find out more about the study area.
Community engagement runs from 30 May to 26 June 2017.
