More than 100 years of sustained urban and industrial development, led by the coal mining and power generation industries, left the Hunter River in a polluted state, prompting the community to take action. Through the Hunter Catchment Management Trust, and subsequently the Hunter/Central Rivers Catchment Management Authority, the river community has worked with government, industry and landholders to improve the health of the Hunter River and its catchment.
