The Platypus Watch Project: Phase 2 continues and expands a highly successful 2024-25 citizen science program that was funded by GWW and delivered in full by the Werribee River Association (WRA) in partnership with Victoria University. Phase 1 demonstrated the strong community appetite, scientific rigour, and operational capacity needed to make this project work.
