The Hawkesbury River comes into focus today, on World Rivers Day, with the launch of a photography competition by the NSW Government and six local councils to raise awareness of the Hawkesbury Nepean River Coastal Coastal Management Program.
Minister for Local Government Shelley Hancock said the Our Hawkesbury River photography competition is a collaborative project with Hornsby, Hawkesbury, Central Coast, Ku-ring-gai, Northern Beaches and Hills Shire councils.
“The NSW Government is passionate about providing support for local councils to manage and protect their valuable coastlines and waterways, and what better way to acknowledge that commitment than on World Rivers Day,” Mrs Hancock said.
“People across the catchment can acknowledge the global day by entering the photography competition and capturing what the Hawkesbury River means to them.”
