Living with Birrarung 2: Life and Law
Q: What is the significance of the five priority projects in the Burndup plan?
The five priority projects demonstrate how community-led and multi-agency collaboration can move practical, on-the-ground actions—like pollution mitigation and habitat projects—into a formal strategic framework that supports long-term river health.
Living with Birrarung 2: Life and Law
Q: What is the Birrarung Council and why is its independence important?
The Birrarung Council serves as the formal voice for the river, representing Indigenous and community interests, and it operates with a degree of independence to advocate for the river's interests and hold ministers accountable through annual reports and yarning circles.
Living with Birrarung 4: Coherence
Q: How do you build an effective coalition capable of steering the Swimmable Birrarung through governance complexities?
Charity suggests framing around a broad, shared goal rather than forcing universal agreement, emphasizing coherence and a unifying vision that people can connect with, while allowing diverse motives to operate under that umbrella.
