Gudgenby River Restoration Project

This project will deliver on-ground riparian restoration works along the Gudgenby River in the Williamsdale area, drawing on the successful approaches of the Rivers of Carbon (RoC) initiative. With support from the Williamsdale BESS Community Grants Program, the funding will be used to:

- Re-establish native riparian vegetation

- Fence off riverbanks to exclude livestock

- Install alternative off-stream stock watering points

- Stabilise eroding riverbanks using nature-based techniques

- Facilitate community and stakeholder engagement activities

- Monitor ecological improvements and share outcomes

The project is designed to improve water quality, reduce erosion, increase biodiversity, and build resilience across the landscape while enhancing collaboration among landholders, First Nations and the broader community.
