Caring for the land, water and wildlife of the Bellarine
See what we do
Bellarine Catchment Network brings community groups, land managers and volunteers together to protect and celebrate the unique environments of the Bellarine Peninsula.
From coastal dunes and seagrass meadows to wetlands, farms and backyards, we support projects that restore habitat, reduce litter, build climate resilience and connect people with nature. Whether you’re a long-time local group or just starting to get involved, there’s a place for you in the network.
What we’re working on
Our programs focus on the places and issues that matter most to the Bellarine community. Explore a few of our key areas of work:
Caring for Our Bays
Protecting the health of Corio Bay and
Port Phillip Bay through litter reduction, community education and partnerships
with local businesses and councils.
