Wimmera Clearwater Revival Flagship project works with land managers and community groups to deliver onground works that protect and enhance the economic, social, cultural recreational and environmental values of the upper Wimmera Catchment.

During 2023-24, the program constructed 13 erosion control structures across seven high priority sites to stabilise the bed and banks and reduce the amount of sediment moving downstream and impacting on high value waterways. Landholder engagement and site assessment and prioritisation were undertaken for nine new erosion control sites.

Riparian protection and enhancement landholder incentives worked with 11 landholders to deliver works across 54.6ha of river frontage including 15.1km of fencing, 8.95ha of revegetation and pest plant and animal control.

Works were complemented by 44.9ha of weed control along priority waterways near Stawell and Elmhurst. These were delivered by Project Platypus in consultation with Landcare and land managers for a coordinated approach.
