Throsby Creek Government Agencies Committee

Committee overview

We are working together to further improve the environment of Throsby Creek, its surrounds, and the amenity of the area for residents, visitors and commercial users.

The Throsby Creek Government Agencies Committee is chaired by the Member for Newcastle, Mr Tim Crakanthorp MP, and supports cooperative leadership from numerous government agencies and stakeholders who have responsibility for the Lower Throsby Creek.

The Committee includes representatives from Hunter Water, City of Newcastle, Lake Macquarie City Council, Roads and Maritime Services, Hunter Local Land Services, the Port of Newcastle, Hunter TAFE, Port Waratah Coal Services and community representatives.

The Throsby Creek Catchment Agencies Plan 2019-2024 was developed in consultation with relevant agencies and the community and captures a consolidated vision for Throsby Creek.

An updated Action Plan is under development now.
