Naturally Resourceful Appeal Goes On Line

Twelve years and twelve projects later, parklands Albury Wodonga is calling on the community to get behind the establishment of the Murray River Parklands.

Did you know that…

·         37% of water in the Murray Darling Basin flows along the Albury Wodonga section of the Murray

·         40% of national income derived from agriculture is produced in the Murray Darling Basin.

·         The River Murray, it’s floodplains, billabongs and tributaries, provide significant habitat for threatened species. This is increasingly the case in recent years of drought and climate change.

·         Outside the two largest River Red Gum forests in the world (Barmah and Gunbower), the restored Murray River Parklands landscape along with Albury City Council’s Murray River Trail, could become one of the longest wildlife corridors along the entire 1,600km Murray River.

·         Recreation and tourism are significant contributors to the Victorian economy, with around 8 million visitor days and $970 million spent each year along the Victorian Murray River region.

·         Around 0.65 million people visit Murray River Parks each year and this trend is increasing.

Did you also know that…

·         There are only 26 working days left in this financial year before it is time to do your tax return.
