About us

We are the Community.

This group exists because people in the Mitchell River catchment have put their energy and resources into it.

The group is guided by a Committee of Management and follows constituted rules. Annual elections of officers ensure that the group is always responsive to the needs of people in the catchment.

Management Committee: 2021-22

  • Chair: Allan Holmes
  • Director: Ian Adcock
  • Treasurer: Cheryl Emmerson
  • Secretary: John Brisbin
