The objective of the Kedron Brook Catchment
Network is to protect and improve the environment of the Kedron Brook
Water Catchment Area.
We aim to do so by acting in an educational
and facilitating role rather than as a ‘hands on’ working group.
Our aims are based on the
concepts of
knowledge, education, consultation, communication and advocacy.
If we want a Brook Catchment that is fit for
us and our children to live in, we must make decisions geared towards
that end. Education and awareness are pivotal.
Decision making needs to be made against a
solid fact base, and informed values. This involves everyone from
individuals and grass roots organisations to governments.
Communication enhances the coordination of
activities and enables us to act from a point of consensus.
The support of community projects such as
the catchments 13 currently active Habitat Brisbane Bushcare Groups are
a major focus.
