Clean Up Australia Day provides a great opportunity to create harmony and pride in the local area and assist the Moonee Ponds Creek which has an estimated three million pieces of litter flowing down it every year.
SAY GO have brought together the Moonee Ponds Creek Citylink Creek Connections Program, Victoria Police, Moonee Valley City Council, Essendon Football Club, Jesuit Social Services and other Community and Government groups to participate in cleaning up the Flemington and Moonee Ponds Creek area, including the removal of weeds, graffiti and litter.
Essendon Football Club and SAY GO are inviting members of the public to help clean up 4km of creek from Ormond Road to Macauley Road with registration being held at the Flemington and North Melbourne Community Centres.
Everyone who participates on the day is also invited to join us for a BBQ featuring a selection of traditional African food which will be served from 1pm at the Flemington Community Centre.
Those interested in participating are reminded to:
- Register at either Flemington or Nth Melbourne Community Centre (everyone needs to register)
- Wear suitable clothes for the day and if sunny wear a hat and sunscreen
- Bring a drink bottle
- Wear sturdy shoes (not thongs or sandals)
- Children under 14 must be accompanied by adult
- Do not handle syringes - if you do find one, please inform the site supervisor
