River safety push to target CALD communities at Mildura
Mildura Rural City Council is working with Sunraysia Mallee Ethnic Communities Council (SMECC) to ensure residents from CALD backgrounds can safely enjoy our region’s most valuable natural asset – the Murray River.
Sunraysia is celebrated for its cultural diversity with residents from more than 70 nationalities now calling the region home.
However this rich multiculturalism can sometimes mean newly-arrived residents may not be aware of the potential dangers of swimming in the Murray River, which combined with possible language barriers, can pose a risk to those looking to beat the heat in the river.
