For the past 25 years, North Central CMA has worked with community groups to improve the condition of wetlands, and rivers such as the Campaspe and Loddon, through fencing and revegetation.
North Central CMA program delivery executive manager Rachel Murphy said the floods had impacted a lot of that work.
“We’ve been working closely with communities before, during and after these floods, and that work continues every day,” Ms Murphy said.
“Part of that work from now on will be understanding the full extent of the impact of recent flooding on our waterways and wetlands.”
Ms Murphy said North Central CMA wanted the community’s help to assess the damage.
“We’re keen to hear from landholders who have noticed flood damage to waterway fencing and revegetation, or significant bank erosion,” she said.
“We’re putting a register together to help identify priority locations where we may be able to support recovery efforts.
“We’ve created an easy-to-use online survey for people to enter in as much information as they can about any damage to waterways on their property or in their area.
“From there, we hope to get back in touch with people over the coming months to undertake more detailed impact assessments.”
