Our Inland Waterways Drowning Prevention Strategy highlighted a key action to develop an inland water safety campaign.
The campaign aims to raise awareness of the dangers that lurk in our inland waterways, and encourages behavioural change in younger males and our Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) community, who have been identified as statistically high-risk groups.
You might even notice a few familiar young faces from our community!

Did you know that 90% of the material in a child car seat is recyclable? In partnership with SeatCare, we're running a free trial during February and March to recycle old children's car seats. So if you have a seat you no longer need, take it down to our Albury Waste Management Centre.
