The City of Albany has gained government and community assistance to develop a 'living stream,' a project at the corner of North and Sanford Rd in Albany.

"The City has completed an upgrade of the severely degraded ditch drain with a project grant of $195,000 from the Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program (RLCIP) Round Three. We are now working on densely planting native shrubs and rushes to attract birds and other wildlife to develop the 'living stream'.

The City of Albany Mayor Dennis Wellington said local groups and schools started with some planting on National Tree Day and the project is gaining momentum with more people offering to get involved.
