Place gives us common ground. Strong catchments are built through strong partnerships. We're proud to work alongside Traditional Owners, landholders, community members and future environmental stewards to care for the places we all call home. #cmasgetitdone #weareaboutplace

Place is about delivering here. Every year, for almost 30 years, we have turned millions of dollars of Australian and State Government and private investment funds into tangible actions and works that serve our catchment and benefits all of us within it.

Place is about all of it. We look at the whole picture, maintaining the balance between individual needs, and acting in the best interest of the place itself. It’s about the big picture of protecting, connecting and restoring no matter what the landscape.

Place is about connection. It’s the Glenelg Hopkins CMA's place to connect, coordinate, and facilitate the web of people, stakeholders, and resources of the catchment. We’re about partnerships to deliver collective benefits to the catchment, its environments and communities.

Passing flows will begin to be delivered to the Glenelg River this week. These flows benefit the river ecology, communities and landholders on the river below the wall. Landholders can access stock and domestic entitlements. For more information visit ghcma.vic.gov.au/envirowater

Place is about balance. From expansive volcanic plains to coastal environments, from Gariwerd to our rivers and farmland, the Glenelg Hopkins catchment is a rich and diverse landscape. We’re about seeing the unique needs of our landscape and the communities within it.

This year's seedling counts on the grasslands of the Victorian Volcanic Plains showed some starkly different results to last year - in a very positive way! But that didn't stop there being a fair range of plant numbers in monitoring plots. #tinyplants #butlotsofthem #grasslands

Place shapes us and every catchment tells a different story. Across Victoria, CMAs work with communities to protect and enhance the places we call home, turning local knowledge into local action. Read more: viccatchments.com.au #cmasgetitdone #weareaboutplace

At the Glenelg Hopkins CMA - and all of Victoria's 10 CMAs - we are about 'place'. The places we work in, live in and work around. The places that guide how we do things. The people in the places we work with. Learn more about why we're about place. #weareaboutplace
