Implementation of the Minnamurra Estuary Management Plan, adopted by Council last year, relies on grants being obtained to fund the work needed.
South East Local Land Services has just been awarded a grant of $98,930 for core improvements to the river through coral tree removal, weeding, fencing, and revegetation, as well as community engagement exercises.
Amongst other things, the habitat and feeding grounds of the threatened Myotis Macropus (Micro Fishing Bat) will be protected and improved.
