Overview The LGRSI is on track. The remaining 7 months to January 2012 provide sufficient time for planned activities to be completed. There is, subject to final costings for several activities, a likelihood that funds will remain unallocated and therefore available for small, discrete projects that can be readily completed and acquitted. The Community Partnerships Program will conduct a sustainable boating and recreation project commencing July 2011. This involves: •
• •
a partnership with the Marina Industries Association of Australia (MIAA) to promote and deliver their Clean Marinas environmental management system to marinas within the Lower Georges River production of estuary information resources for the community an estuary Open Day on October 29 showcasing sustainable recreational activity
The WSUD Decision Support tool will be made publicly available as a tool for use by other organizations via the SMCMA website.
