Great Ocean Road Renewal Program: An introduction to this three-year, $1.35 million program, which will deliver four discrete projects - each critically important in their own right - supported by funding from the Australian Government.  The program includes a Natural Values Project which aims to improve native vegetation communities along our coastal reserves by blitzing weeds over the next three years and boosting native plant species.
