We are campaigning to protect valuable bushland from inappropriate use by special interest groups such as downhill mountain bike riders, who are causing severe environmental damage.  To find out more about our activities click on the relevant menu item.

Current Issues lists the major issues we are working on at present.

Successful Outcomes contains a list of the campaigns we have worked on in the past.  We aren't always successful, but we believe that CDEA has been quite successful in bringing long-term environmental benefits to the Centenary Suburbs. 

We believe that an area, any area, benefits greatly by having plenty of native plants growing both in public spaces and in people's own gardens.  In particular, species which are native to the local area will have proved already that they are suited to the local soil and climatic conditions, and they are more likely to attract native birds and other wildlife.  CDEA has compiled a number of lists which are available for download and which you may find useful.

There is a list of nurseries which specialise in propagating and selling native plants.   Native Plant Nurseries (213.74 kB)

Even though the past couple of years have brought good rainfall, there is nothing to say that we won't experience drought again.  We want our gardens to survive any such droughts.   Drought Tolerant Plants (106.47 kB)

We also have an excellent list of plants indigenous to the Centenary Suburbs.   List of local native plants (57.65 kB)
