This publication is widely distributed throughout the Catchment area and is also available at Service Centres and Libraries throughout the city. During the later part of 1998 the City Council commenced a process of Community Consultation with those interested, or affected by change, in the Styx River Catchment and surrounding environs. A Styx River Happening was held at Spencer Park in March 1999 and this attracted some 4,000 attendees. At this event, in addition to a number of community stalls a variety of displays and lectures introduced the community to the need for consultation and partnership regarding future developments or change within the Styx Catchment. The purpose of the Styx Newsletter is as an on-going vehicle by which the community will continue to be kept informed.
Membership is open to any person within the community who concurs with the aims of the group.
