In the 2021 Cooks River Community Values survey, you told us your vision for the River is for it to become “a loved and healthy river valley enriching the heart of Sydney,” with the River becoming free of litter and debris listed among the top three priorities.

The Alliance is leading this work with the assistance of funding through a Waste and Sustainable Materials grant from the NSW Environmental Protection Authority (EPA). We will work in three main strategic directions.
