Cardinia Catchment Landcare Inc

OUR PURPOSE AND PASSION

CCLG was born in January, 2002, with the objective of encouraging owners of private land to plant indigenous trees and understorey, also to work with Councils and public bodies in planting on public land.  We also sell indigenous plants at a location in Halford Rd, Upper Beaconsfield, open to the public on Friday and Saturday mornings or by appointment.


 

Land Stewardship Project

This is aimed at improving our environment generally by supporting owners and managers of land in management practices that will improve the way we manage our soils, water, plants and animals.  It offers a project officer to visit your property and formulate a Land Management Agreement for which you can make an estimate of cost.  If your application is successful, you will receive payments to assist in implementing the plan.  The minimum size property to be eligible is a quarter Ha.

Cardinia Creek Parklands Master Plan

Parks Victoria has started the Cardinia Creek Parklands Master Plan.  This will progressively develop over the next several years, the 217 hectares that have accumulated by land purchase and resumption of leased land since 1992.
