Come and celebrate Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday 2 March.
Join our clean up event at Koonung Creek Linear Park from 10.00am to 1.00pm.
Manningham is home to a variety of parks and reserves as well as rivers and creeks that connect to larger water systems. Unfortunately, we're seeing litter in many of these areas, which can endanger our waterways and wildlife.
Litter impacts our waterways
When waste ends up on the ground, it doesn't just stay there - it washes into our waterways, especially during rainy or windy weather. This disrupts water quality and creates hazards for our aquatic life, making it harder for plants and animals to thrive.
Litter impacts our wildlife
Wildlife can also mistake plastic bags, food wrappers or small debris for food. When ingested, this can lead to choking, malnutrition and even death.
What you can do
Clean Up Australia Day is a chance to take positive, practical action.
Let's roll up our sleeves, get outdoors and clean up Koonung Creek Linear Park.

- 10.00am to 1.00pm
