The Merri Creek and Environs Strategy (MCES) is a document intended to give direction to managers of the waterway corridors of the Merri catchment. While the title indicates it has a strategic intent, it also captures some important, often site-specific actions, which underpin its strategic direction.

A new draft has been prepared with input from Councils, State Government authorities and through Friends of Merri Creek and Friends of Wallan Creek, but comment is now sought from the general public. You can see a copy of the Strategy at libraries and municipal offices in the catchment, or at the MCMC offices at 2 Lee St, East Brunswick, you can download the strategy (see the link below), or you can view the strategy chapter by chapter using the links below, and add comments on the website.

Comments should be either:

• mailed to MCES Review, Merri Creek Management Committee, 2 Lee St, East Brunswick 3057, or
• emailed to tony@mcmc.org.au
• posted on the website (see below)

by 15th November 2008.

Enquiries about the strategy can be made by phoning Merri Creek Management Committee on (03) 93808199.

The strategy document is divided into two sections, the main text, including issues, objectives and targets, and the second document is the action tables indicating who's responsible.
