The Orara River Rehabilitation Project is based in the beautiful Orara Valley, near Coffs Harbour in NSW.

The Orara River catchment covers an area of 41,200ha. The river has been impacted by decades of degradation from land clearing, grazing, and gravel and water extraction.

While the river was severely impacted from past activities, there are vegetation remnants throughout the system. Headwater streams are in good condition, flowing from well vegetated slopes under State Forest and National Park tenures.
