Monitoring our waterways

Southern Cross University conducts studies into the impact that intensive plant agriculture, such as blueberries, is having on our waterways. City of Coffs Harbour has part-funded these studies using the Environmental Levy.

We are continuing to work with industry bodies, other levels of government and Southern Cross University to reduce impacts on our waterways from intensive plant agriculture.
