Monitoring our waterways

Both government and non government organisations, and citizen science groups have conducted studies into the impact that horticulture is having on our waterways. While the City of Coffs Harbour has part-funded these studies via the Environmental Levy the reports are not adopted by the City and the City accepts no liability for the content. 

We are continuing to work with industry bodies, other levels of government and research bodies to reduce impacts on our waterways from horticulture.
