Founded in 2022, the Maribyrnong River and Waterways Association (MRWA) is a values-driven community-based organisation that advocates for the health of rivers and creeks in the Maribyrnong catchment.
We advocate for the river itself, for the communities that depend on it, and for the myriad of health and well-being benefits that come with our interaction with the waterways and surrounding parklands.
MRWA brings the needs of the river into the public domain, challenges the community and government to act and puts forward pathways for action.
We are a not-for-profit organisation with a paid staff and volunteer Board. We are independent of the government and transparent in our decision-making.
