📍 Place is our source of strength.
Supporting healthy, productive farms is good for us all.
In 2026, we worked to help improve over 10,500 hectares of agricultural management.
This means 637 hectares of improved grazing regimes and better outcomes for the people and places where we live.
Our latest snapshot shares our impact over the past year to care for the places you call home. Read it herehttps://viccatchments.com.au/wpcontent/uploads/2026/10/CMA3001-AA-RGB-RT01.pdf

📍 Place matters. So do healthy waterways.
And they don’t happen by chance. There’s a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes at North East CMA to protect the rivers, creeks and waterways we love, rely on and enjoy.
Last year Victoria’s CMAs provided more than 10,500 approvals and advice services and assessed over 4,000 waterway sites. At over 50 per day, this all adds up to one united effort to help keep catchments healthy, resilient and safe.

Traditional Owner collaboration is driving eDNA and water quality monitoring in the Upper Mitta Mitta River.
Duduroa Dhargal Aboriginal Corporation , and are partnering to undertake environmental DNA (eDNA) and water quality monitoring across Livingstone Creek and tributaries of the Upper Mitta Mitta River catchment over the next three years.
As part of the Upper Mitta Mitta River Flagship Waterways Project, this work will establish valuable baseline data on the vertebrate species present within and alongside these waterways. The monitoring will help measure the ecological outcomes of several years of river restoration efforts led by North East CMA in partnership with local communities and landholders.
This collaboration brings together Traditional Owner knowledge and contemporary scientific monitoring to strengthen our understanding of waterway health and support future management of the Upper Mitta catchment.

Join Dr Robin Adair, ecological consultant and vegetation manager, and Kiewa Catchment Landcare Network for a practical half-day workshop on effective and sustainable blackberry management in sensitive areas.
With a focus on protecting natural ecosystems, Robin will share his expertise in managing invasive species in challenging environments. If you have a creek, wet area or patch of native vegetation on your property affected by blackberries, this workshop is for you.
Blackberries threaten our environment, agricultural production and cultural heritage, making them a challenge for the whole community. With the right knowledge and management techniques, however, they can be effectively controlled while minimising impacts on surrounding vegetation and waterways.
This FREE half-day workshop will cover best-practice approaches to managing blackberries in sensitive areas, including a practical demonstration of blackberry treatment along a waterway.
Everyone welcome. Morning tea and a light lunch provided. Bookings essential.

Continuing to restore Wangaratta’s Waterways
North East CMA is continuing to remove invasive Black Willow and other woody w**ds along the Ovens River this spring as part of the PlatyPatch Project, a $24M statewide initiative to rejuvenate urban waterways and create healthier habitats for Platypus and other waterway dependent species.
Black Willow spreads fast, choking waterways and harming biodiversity. Clearing these w**ds will restore natural flow, improve water quality and support native species.
Raft-based w**d control work will be undertaken over the next two weeks to maintain the great work implemented in previous years, along a 24km stretch of the Lower Ovens River. All treatment implemented is mapped using GIS software such that we can track progress year to year.
Some fantastic and highly complementary w**d control efforts are also currently being implemented by a range of local partners including , Traditional Owners and . You can learn more about what you can do to identify and control woody w**ds within your backyard or local area by joining WLS Inc. and Ngalan Bitja Ranger Team at their upcoming Woody W**d Control Workshop at Mullinmur Billabong in Wangaratta this Friday 30 October at 12.30pm. It’s a free event, with a free BBQ lunch.
Bookings essential here https://events.humanitix.com/woody-w**d-control
For more information about the upcoming w**d control please contact the North East CMA.
Platy Patch is jointly funded by the Australian Government , and Melbourne Water .

Plan now for the fire season.
A farm map is a useful tool when it comes to developing your fire preparedness plan - and it may prove vital in the case of fire.
Use it to highlight where your critical assets are, including:
• assembly areas and evacuation/exit points
• farm gates and internal fences
• water sources, water tanks and pumps
• stock refuge areas and stock yards
• stock disposal sites
• vegetation.
Share it with family and employees.
For more tips on developing a farm map - either online or on paper - get your copy of the farm Fire Preparedness Toolkit:

Helping protect one of Australia's most endangered mammals
This spring and summer, conservation teams will undertake fox s**t surveys across the Bogong High Plains and Falls Creek areas as part of the Mountain Pygmy-possum Recovery Project.
Using a specially trained detection dog, researchers will collect fox s**ts for DNA analysis, helping to better understand fox populations and measure the effectiveness of fox control programs.
The information gathered will help guide future predator management and support the recovery of the critically endangered Mountain Pygmy-possum.
This project is jointly funded by the Australian Government North East CMA, a member of the Commonwealth Regional Delivery Partners panel, and Parks Victoria.
