Barwon through Geelong

The Corangamite CMA is responsible for 20 kilometres of the Barwon river through Geelong, including river reserves upstream from the Queens Park Bridge at Highton, through to the lower breakwater, upstream from Lake Connewarre.

This includes maintenance and enhancement of the river banks and adjacent reserves and providing associated services and facilities.

DOG OWNERS HAVE ROLE TO PLAY

Dog owners have a role to play in keeping the Barwon River reserves looking great.

The Corangamite CMA has removed dog litter bag stations from the Barwon’s walking paths, meaning owners should take their own bags to clean up after their dog by the river.

The City of Greater Geelong provides free dog bag kits when owners register their dogs, or kits can be collected from the Corangamite CMA's Geelong office.

To reduce waste and improve litter collection along the Barwon, the Corangamite CMA will install larger bins also suitable for recycling. Twenty recycling bins will replace 30 bins currently used.
