Friends of Eynesbury and Eynesbury Environment Group will be hosting a joint Clean Up Australia Day event to give the town a tidy up on a day that matters.
Clean Up Australia Day held on Sunday, March 2 2025 encourages all neighbourhoods and communities to come together and pick up rubbish and conserve the environment.
This year’s clean up efforts will focus on the Grassland Conservation Area at Greenhill Road and the nearby waterways.
President of Eynesbury Environment Group, Chris Lunardi said Clean Up Australia Day is important for highlighting the issues of litter and waste in the streets, particularly for a small community like Eynesbury.
“The particular area we are focusing on this year is a new part of the housing estate- in this part there is a constant supply of building wastes (polystyrene, plastics and food wastes).
“We will be picking up all the wastes and making sure it doesn’t end up in the grassland or woodland next door.
“And being so close to Werribee River, we are wanting to prevent all the waste ending up in the river.”
Mr Lunardi said there was a good turnout of family and friends at last year’s clean up but they anticipate this year will be bigger.
“Clean Up Australia Day is an amazing event for pulling new people together and uniting over a common goal -which is a clean and waste free community making sure our places remain wild and natural.”
Sunday, 02 March 2025 | 10:00 AM to 02:00 PM
Meet to sign in at the parkland at the corner of Greenhill Road and St Arnaud Road at 10am, Eynesbury.
