What we’ve actioned

Focusing on safeguarding this extraordinary place for future generations to come, KCAG has been busy delivering solutions for a tidy, safer, better connected community.

  • Quick Reference Guide created specifically for locals’ needs

  • Brand new Lifepak CR2 defibrillator installed at the KR SLSC gear shed for public use

  • The volunteer garbologist Litter Picker Station to combat visitor rubbish and microplastics

  • The Triangle Makeover + Revegetation Project on Hawdon Ave and Grey River Road

  • Monitoring of wildlife welfare and interference, to help inform agencies, for better education within our region

  • Directional and refreshed road line markings

  • Lowering and repositioning of ‘No Entry’ sign to roundabout for further risk mitigation

  • Installation of ashtrays to safely butt out

  • Started a community taskforce to take pride in where we live and holiday, tackling litter, conservation and weed management. Each win celebrated with a cuppa afterwards and a chance to connect with others

  • Funded plants, indigenous to the area, selected by GORCAPA and propagated by SOLN for the Kennett River Riparian Zone Revegetation Project.

  • Collaborated with Wye to Wongarra Landcare Group and GORCAPA for an ongoing Sea Spurge education program

  • Media coverage raising awareness of over tourism and local wildlife welfare issues

  • Stainless steel, bird resistant bins installed throughout Kennett River in July. We advocated for cockie proof bins in all neighbouring communities, so that our problems weren’t pushed on elsewhere

  • Solar compacting Smart Bins installed August 2024

  • Collaborated with Southern Otway Landcare Network on a successful Victorian Coastcare Grant - Beat the Sweet (Pittosporum)

  • Sourced and donated $1,400 worth of prizes to the KR SLSC for their annual raffles

  • Initiated a traffic safety management plan with the Colac Otway Shire in April 2024 for improved safety outcomes within our busy precinct

  • Requested GORCAPA put in counters along the riverbank to start measure and monitoring usage and impacts on the environment - as we look to better understand carry capacity and ecological health within our community

  • Launched Keep The Wildlife Wild education campaign on 7 December 2025

  • Collaborated with Living Culture, Clean Ocean Foundation and Gidja Walker (OAM) to provide a cultural community walk - extending our knowledge of indigenous culture and practices
