Victoria’s CMAs win national Banksia Award

The combined work of Victoria’s 10 Catchment Management Authorities (CMAs) has been recognised at the 35th National Banksia Foundation Sustainability Awards recently.

Vic Catchments, the peak body for Victoria’s ten Catchment Management Authorities (CMA) which includes the Glenelg Hopkins CMA, won the Nature Positive category.

The Awards celebrate trailblazers in environmental and social sustainability, with winners across 14 categories spanning travel, agriculture, conservation and more announced at the gala event – all recognised as true champions of sustainability and social impact.

The award nomination for Vic Catchments was in the Nature Positive Award category and was in recognition of the 25 years of partnerships and projects which the CMAs have undertaken in their regions which have significantly benefitted the land, water and biodiversity of Victoria which was celebrated last year (2023).
