7. The Catchments Remediation Rate (CRR) Program in Action
Through the CRR program Council is investing in projects that protect and restore the health of our local waterways. One of the key tools we use is the installation of Stormwater Quality Improvement Devices - smart infrastructure designed to stop pollution before it reaches our creeks and rivers. Currently Council is working on the construction of the following Gross Pollutant Traps (GPTs):
- Pecan Close, Cherrybrook
- Derribong Place, Thornleigh
- Bridge Road, Hornsby
- Edward Bennett, Cherrybrook
The program also supports a number of pollution prevention initiatives such as environmental education, industrial auditing, street sweeping, and emergency spill response and pollution regulation.
