You’re invited to the Sydney Rivers Community Forum!

This public assembly will bring together communities from across Sydney’s river, wetland, and waterway catchments, in one of the largest gatherings of river advocates in 2026.

Community groups, NGOs, Traditional Owners, academics and members of the public will be able to speak to their experiences, challenges, and changes they would like to see for Sydney's waterways and wetlands. We'll share stories, join workshops, and form collaborative relationships with other like-minded people who are passionate about changing Sydney's rivers and wetlands for the better.

Together, we'll identify top community priorities and turn these into asks, actions, and strategies, that we’ll present to key decision-makers at a follow-up event, the Sydney Rivers Roundtable.

Lunch will be provided.
